Kiss guitarist's heart problems

Kiss performed as a trio for the first time after Paul Stanley's heart rate reportedly spiked to over 190 beats per minute, forcing him to miss a California gig.

Another of the bands to have been in an episode of The Simpsons, Kiss, have had a difficult week having had to perform as a trio for the first time in their history. Gene Simmons, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer were left to play a gig at Soboba Casino in California sans singer and guitarist Paul Stanley because he was having heart problems. Describing the ordeal as "exhausting", Stanley announced that his heart "had spontaneously jumped to 190 plus beats per minute", and that he therefore wouldn't be joining the rest of the band for the gig.
