Just drove to Star Lake - wasn't announced until right around showtime. Since Paul and the whole band & crew are vaccinated I'm sure he'll be ok. But still, geez. I know they were being super careful and he still got it. Didn't they just cancel another show or two this week due to weather?
Sucks. I am still holding off buying tickets to the Austin show until the last second but I do hope it goes forward.
No, Hartford got postponed indefinitely. They initially moved it from Sunday to Monday, but then they postponed that with a new date TBA. It was weather - though apparently the threat of the hurricane fizzled. I have friends up there and they think the show could've gone on Monday and maybe Sunday...
I have/had tickets to the Hartford show. The hurricane did not amount to much and while they were probably right to postpone, I think the show could have happened on Monday without much trouble. The date currently shows as TBA. It's about a 2 hour drive for me so I'm glad they at least announced the change before I did the drive.
From our local news: Paul Stanley took to Twitter shortly after the concert was postponed saying, "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." False positive perhaps? EDIT: The nonsense part is referring to the rumor that he had a heart attack.
There's no date or city on this. (Or am I missing it?) I'm skeptical that it was within the last week. "In the age of COVID" could mean Feb 2020. Still pretty dumb.
Have KISS been doing meet & greet photos with plexiglass? Black CroWes might be the only other band currently doing M&Gs at the moment. Gary Numan is selling socially distanced MGs for upcoming tour with soundcheck/talk/signing/mask up distant photo.
No meet & greets: GENE SIMMONS Talks End Of The Road Tour, KISS' Decision To Cancel Meet & Greets - "If One Fan Infects Any One Of Us, The Entire Tour Is Cancelled"
Please keep Paul in your thoughts and prayers. He has spent a lifetime making millions of people happy with his gift of music. And here we see at great sacrifice. At this point, 48 hours after Charlie, I just can’t take anymore sickness or G-d forbid . . . That’s all I have, no need to reply to me. I’m not going to engage.
He tested positive a few hours ago but updated and tweeted a couple of hours ago: “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.” - Paul Stanley via Twitter
They are still on sale on their website. Did the M&Gs happen at the first 5 shows of the tour? Alice Cooper just announced a Sept 23rd in-store signing in Detroit for his new album.
I just watched the video of the whole song from this date (shortly before it was posted above) really hoping it would prove this false. Unfortunately, it is clear as day. What in the world was he thinking? Anyone who caught one of these picks better quarantine.
