Paul Stanley dedicated the 1980 Kiss hit ‘Shandi’ to Shandee who lost her life just one block from her home in Mackay last month.

“Before we go on I think everybody knows about a girl named Shandee Blackburn. We lost her. We wished she could be here with us. So we’d like to sing a little something for her, all of us”.

Shandee’s mother Vicki was at the show and had put in a request for the song to be played for her daughter who was named after the Kiss song.

Check out the Kiss Melbourne review here.

Kylie Puts On Her Biggest Hometown Show Ever #KylieMelbourne

Kylie was fun, Kylie was thrilling, Kylie was a great night out. Kylie Minogue shows have always been great but this hometown show for Melbourne was special. The first Melbourne night of the Tension tour as spectacular. The ‘Tension’ tour is so fast paced across a few hours that it feels like its over moments after it starts.
