A Kiss concert in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania has been cancelled after Paul Stanley tested positive to Covid-19.
Stanley is fully vaccinated as are all members of the band and crew.
In a statement Kiss say “The band and crew have operated in a bubble independently to safeguard everyone as much as possible at each show and in between shows. The tour also has a COVID safety protocol officer on staff full-time that is ensuring everyone is closely following all CDC guidelines”.

He also says he feels fine after reports falsely stated he was in ICU. “PEOPLE!!! I am fine! I am not in ICU! My heart allows me to do 26 miles a day on my bike! I don’t know where this came from but it’s absolute nonsense”.

Ticketek still has tickets for the Kiss Australian tour in November still on sale. Kiss are meant to tour Australia in November 14 but with current Australian COVID restrictions that is unlikely. Andrew McManus was quoted three weeks ago in the Herald Sun saying that the tour was going to be moved. So far, Kiss is yet to be officially postponed or cancelled.
