KISS Singer Paul Stanley Tests Positive for COVID-19, Concert Postponed at Last Minute

KISS had to postpone their Thursday night (August 26) concert at the very last minute.

Just before they were set to take the stage in Pennsylvania, the glam rock band announced that they had to cancel the show after band member Paul Stanley tested positive for coronavirus.

“Tonight’s #KISS show at The Pavilion at Star Lake in Burgettstown, PA is unfortunately postponed due to Paul Stanley testing positive for COVID. More information about show dates will be made available ASAP,” the band announced on Facebook.

“Everyone on the entire tour, both band and crew, are fully vaccinated,” the band continued. “The band and their 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.”

After the band made the announcement, Paul, 69, took to Twitter to let fans know he’s doing okay despite rumors that he was hospitalized amid his battle with the virus.

“PEOPLE!!! I am fine! I am not in ICU!” Paul tweeted. “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.”

We hope Paul gets well soon.

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.
