NEW YORK Moments and INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

In Encounter the Music, Paul Stanley-the co-founder and well-known “Starchild” frontman of KISS-reveals for the first time the incredible highs and equally incredible lows in his life both inside and outside the band. Encounter the Music is the shocking, funny, clever, inspirational story of 1 of rock’s most enduring icons and the group he helped create, define, and immortalize.

Stanley mixes compelling personal revelations and gripping, gritty battle stories that about Face the Music: A Existence Exposed will shock even the most steadfast person in the KISS Army. He requires us back again to his child years in the 1950s and ’60s, a distressing time made more painful thanks to a physical deformity. Born using a condition known as microtia, he was raised partly deaf, with only one ear. But this instilled in him an internal drive to succeed in the most unlikely of pursuits: music.

With never-before-seen photos and images throughout, Stanley’s memoir is a completely realized and unflinching family portrait of a rock and roll star, a chronicle of the stories behind the famous anthems, the countless brawls and betrayals, and all of the drama and pyrotechnics on / off the stage. Fresh and confessional, Stanley gives candid insights into his personal human relationships, as well as the turbulent dynamics with his bandmates over the past four decades. And no one comes out unscathed-including Stanley himself.

“People say I had been brave to create such a revealing reserve, but We wrote it because We needed to personally reflect on my own existence. I understand everyone will see themselves somewhere in this reserve, and where my story usually takes them is the reason why I’m sharing it.” -Paul Stanley
