Children’s Hospital gets International Support from KISS
Legendary rock band KISS is supporting Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital by donating an incredible, money-can’t-buy prize to help raise valuable funds for the hospital’s Paediatric Intensive Care Unit.
Following the tragic event at the Manchester Arena last year, the Children’s Hospital has received an out-pouring of support from across the North West and beyond with individuals, schools and businesses wanting to help in any way possible to support the patients and staff at the hospital. This tremendous support has now stretched across the Atlantic with rock stars KISS getting in touch to pledge their support after the awful attack.
The band has donated a phenomenal prize of three of their personal guitars signed by Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and Tommy Thayer respectively, plus a signed personal snare drum with signed drum sticks from Eric Singer. The guitar donated by Paul Stanley is his signature Ibanez PS120 guitar which he was intending to play at their Manchester Arena gig on Tuesday 30th May. The band sadly had to cancel the gig following the attack at the Manchester Arena. The guitar has never been played and will be up for auction along with VIP tickets to any sold out KISS show in the world, plus a cabin on the sold out 8th KISS Kruise and two tickets for one of their sold out shows on the Kruise with a meet and greet with the band.
Paul Stanley said: “We were devastated by the heinous attack in Manchester Arena and had to do something to support the city. Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital's incredible work with children was never more evident than after this horrific event. We are humbled to be able to give something to support them in their ongoing efforts. Knowing that the money raised will go towards purchasing life-support ventilators, our prayers and wishes will continue to help both those affected directly by the attack, and beyond. This night will give everyone an opportunity to do their part in raising as much money as possible for an incredibly worthy cause.”

Paul Stanley to honor veterans at Vacaville Rock & Brews
VACAVILLE — KISS front man Paul Stanley will honor about 200 local veterans and active military Tuesday at Rock & Brews, 200 Nut Tree Parkway.
It is an invitation-only event.
The rock-inspired restaurant recently opened in Vacaville, the first of the chain to call Northern California home. The concept is designed to engage people of all ages with entertainment, comfort food, local favorites and a selection of craft and international beers.
A “Great Wall of Rock” features iconic rock art, concert trusses and lighting, and multiple flat screens sharing some of the greatest rock concert moments of all time.
Attending the event will be Vacaville Mayor Len Augustine; Julie De Maria, president of Operation: Care and Comfort; as well as the Rock & Brews co-partners, president, Vacaville franchisee and Vacaville general manager.
Stanley is scheduled for pre-event media interviews from 7 to 10 a.m. A ribbon-cutting follows at noon with a private luncheon for veterans. A check will be presented to Operation: Care and Comfort.
Founded in 2003 in the San Francisco Bay Area, Operation: Care and Comfort supports the military, veterans and their families through care packages, tickets for troops and adopting a military family.

Paul Stanley not one to KISS off ‘Rock & Brews’ Vacaville investment with 50 eateries planned
By Richard Freedman, Vallejo Times-Herald
For Paul Stanley, it was never sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll during the 40-plus years of prancing on stage in face makeup as one-fourth of the iconic band KISS. Well, not entirely.
“For me it was ‘You keep the drugs, I’ll keep the rest,’” Stanley said.
Beer? A whole different ballgame, especially when it comes to investing. Beer and food, actually. And music. Which is why Stanley and KISS colleague Gene Simmons took the plunge into “Rock & Brews” in 2012.
Six years later, there are 20-plus locations of the “rock-inspired restaurant” with 50 on the drawing board, and a Tuesday ribbon-cutting in Vacaville with Stanley and dignitaries appearing at the Vacaville Commons Shopping Center site.
“Conceptually, it made so much sense,” Stanley said of the investment.
