Explaining yesterday why he didn’t perform with KISS when they performed Friday at a gig outside Los Angeles, frontman Paul Stanley said, “During sound check yesterday, 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. Not knowing if this episode was life-threatening made it even more exhausting.” It was the first time the band performed as a trio. Stanley is 55. (Source; photo: Jennifer Graylock/AP)
