Kiss singer Paul Stanley suffers heart ailment

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Paul Stanley, a singer and guitarist with rock band Kiss, was forced to pull out of a show in California on Friday after his heart started beating at more than twice the normal level, he said on his Web site.

The apparent tachycardia happened while the band was rehearsing for a performance at a casino in San Jacinto, California, about 90 miles east of Los Angeles.

"My heart spontaneously jumped to 190 plus beats per minute, where it stayed for over an hour necessitating paramedics to start an IV and give me a shot to momentarily stop my heart and get it into a normal pattern," Stanley, 55, wrote on his site (http://www.paulstanley.com).

This is when you step back and say, "Do I really want to keep touring and doing this to my body?"

KISS has always had a big stage show to go along with the music. Maybe they need to think of calling it

quits or revising their shows. They are old, but they still rock. I wish only the best for Mr. Stanley and the

band.

Kiss Alive II. My first Kiss album, 1978. When my mother saw that photo of Gene Simmons, she totally lost it--she wanted my dad to turn the car around so she could make me could return it to Midland Records.

But we were on the interstate, and I had already peeled the plastic off...

Oh, and hopefully this news about Paul Stanley won't mean Kiss will have to end their farewell tour

My parent's thought I was headed down a wrong-way street with my first Kiss album, Dynasty. I had been doing the trading card thing for years before that, but getting that album was larger than life. It is the only album ever that I have had as LP, cassette and CD.
