Paul Stanley is keeping his voice in top shape for the Kiss send-off.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the singer admitted his vocals, at 66 years old, have changed.
“You do come to terms over time with your own mortality, and every singer that I know, probably the first thing we all say to each other is, you know, 'Is this becoming tougher for you?'" Stanley said. "I've been doing a lot recently to make sure that my voice is in great form. [But] if you want to hear me sound like I did on Kiss Alive!, then put on Kiss Alive!”
Stanley also reflected on the group's 2000 farewell jaunt and their forthcoming One Last Kiss: End of the Road World Tour.
“The farewell tour took place 19 years ago … at the end of the time that we had brought back the two original members [guitarist Ace Frehley and Peter Criss] and it was such drudgery and so difficult and so unhappy that it just seemed, like, ‘Let's put the horse down,’” he recalled.
“And after the tour was over, it didn't take me very long to realize I didn't want to say goodbye to the band; I wanted to say goodbye to two members. So that was the difference.
“We've had 19 years of the band. The band has never been better, happier… But with all that in mind, it's time to think about an end.”
