Paul Stanley , lead singer of Kiss , opened up about his COVID-19 on social media. The musician tested positive last Thursday, the 26th , and the band had to postpone concert dates while the singer is in the recovery phase.
According to reports published by the vocalist, the initial symptoms were similar to the flu. “Some really tough days behind us and hopefully only a few more ahead. Then I’ll see you all,” he wrote on Thursday the 27th, with a photo in bed.
When the band announced the last-minute cancellation of their performance in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, on the day of Stanley's diagnosis, rumors of a heart attack circulated, and the musician has been posting updates on his health ever since. "My COVID were mild compared to many others, but let me tell you something… It devastated me. Now it's over," he said on Monday, the 30th.
The band's recently rescheduled Australian tour dates, originally planned for November and December 2021, have been postponed once again. In a statement regarding the decision, Stanley assured fans that he is feeling better. "I feel great and am close to a full recovery. My doctors said I was very smart to get fully vaccinated, as that made all the obvious difference in ensuring I didn't get too sick," he commented.
