KISS' Paul Stanley Exhibits His Diverse Artistic Talents

With KISS having recently come off of a huge tour across South America, Paul Stanley continues to keep busy. About ten years ago, coming out of a divorce, a friend suggested he try painting as a cathartic way of helping to express his emotions. He went and purchased brushes and canvasses and he’s been at it ever since. Stanley has never been one to stand on the sideline. In the past he’s played the lead in the Phantom of the Opera in Toronto, toured on his own in support of his solo release “Live to Win,” and now, along with continuing to show his art work at Wentworth Galleries, is also in the studio producing the
forthcoming KISS album. He took time to speak with Dave Cohen. Read the whole interview here.
