A Life Exposed

Beschreibung

The rock icon and co-founder of KISS recounts his turbulent life behind the face paint in this New York Times bestselling memoir. With his onstage persona, the "Starchild", Paul Stanley made rock & roll history-thrilling countless fans with hard rock anthems and elaborate stage shows. But his famous makeup hid a difficult life. In Face the Music, Stanley shares a gripping blend of personal revelations and gritty war stories about the highs and lows both inside and outside of KISS. Born with a condition called microtia (an ear deformity rendering him deaf on the right side), Stanley's traumatic childhood experiences produced an inner drive to succeed in the most unlikely of places: music. Taking readers through the series of events that led to the founding of KISS, the personal relationships that helped shape his life, and the dynamics among his bandmates, this book leaves no one unscathed-including Stanley himself. With never-before-seen photos and images throughout, Face the Musicis a colorful portrait of a man and the band he helped create, define, and sustain-made larger than life in artfully told stories that are shocking, funny, inspirational, and honest.
