NEW YORK TIMES & INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER In Face the Music, Paul Stanley-the co-founder & famous Starchild frontman of KISS-reveals for the first time the incredible highs & equally incredible lows in his life both inside & outside the b&. Face the Music is the shocking, funny, smart, inspirational story of one of rock's most enduring icons & the group he helped create, define, & immortalize. Stanley mixes compelling personal revelations & gripping, gritty war stories that will surprise even the most steadfast member of the KISS Army. He takes us back to his childhood in the 1950s & '60s, a traumatic time made more painful thanks to a physical deformity. Born with a condition called microtia, he grew up partially deaf, with only one ear. But this instilled in him an inner drive to succeed in the most unlikely of pursuits: music. With never-before-seen photos & images throughout, Stanley's memoir is a fully realized & unflinching portrait of a rock star, a chronicle of the stories behind the famous anthems, the many brawls & betrayals, & all the drama & pyrotechnics on & off the stage. Raw & confessional, Stanley offers candid insights into his personal relationships, & the turbulent dynamics with his bandmates over the past four decades. & no one comes out unscathed-including Stanley himself. People say I was brave to write such a revealing book, but I wrote it because I needed to personally reflect on my own life. I know everyone will see themselves somewhere in this book, & where my story might take them is why I'm sharing it. -Paul Stanley ...
