Back From The Dead

Filed under: When Celebrities Blog

paulstanleypromoshot.jpg

The Kiss frontman, 55, wrote the following message on his website Saturday about a very serious health care her suffered the day before:

During sound check yesterday, my heart spontaneously jumped to 190 plus beats per minute where it stayed for over an hour necessitating paramedics to start an IV and give me a shot to momentarily stop my heart and get it into a normal pattern. Not knowing if this episode was life threatening made it even more exhausting. After consulting with both the paramedics and a cardiologist at Cedar Sinai, they confirmed my worst fear. They said that I would put myself at risk if I tried to do the show.

I’m very proud of Gene, Tommy and Eric for carrying on without me. I apologize to anyone I disappointed and I’ll make it up to you when I see you again.

Paul.

    Wow. The stupid sucker just had a realllyyyyy long panic attack.

  27. steber fisher says – reply to this


    27

    Sounds like SVT (Supra Ventricular Tacachardia), I had episodes like this and it is not life threatening. An outpatient surgery corrects it, and the worst thing that can happen to someone with it is dizzyness and passing out.

  28. Deanna says – reply to this


    28

    FYI - Gene and Paul have NEVER done drugs and have always been very vocal about it.

    Its called new onset atrial fibrillation. It's quite common. Sounds like he was cardioverted back to normal sinus rhythm. Not life threatening if treated properly.

    Could be Ventricular Tachycardia and need to have a defribulator implanted. Not good! Like V.P. Dick

  33. Shelby says – reply to this


    33

    What a drama queen! "they confirmed my worst fear. They said that I would put myself at risk if I tried to do the show." What a baby! Did he not realize that doing coke can mess up your heart? Sorry, no sympathy here.

    I truly thought that was CHER for a second!

  37. Mint says – reply to this


    37

    That's SVT. I have SVT. It's not life threatening although it is scary and the shot they give you sucks.

  38. Turd says – reply to this


    38

    it's not a-fib or v-tach people. they gave him adenosine which means it was SVT.

  39. Cuppers says – reply to this

    HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! #37 - I saw your post after I had already sent mine. You hit that one right on!

  44. Dragon76 says – reply to this


    44

    So, basically what he was saying is that because he does Tina, he can't perform live. Crystal Meth amphetamines give LOTS of people tachycardia.

  45. ciscosballs says – reply to this


    45

    um either this dude has some sweatsock action going on or he has Cisco Adler balls going on.. that looks like some super scrotum

    MMMMM

    Gotta get me some of that!

  52. Sunni says – reply to this


    52

    OK..he went into SVT *Sinus ventricular tachycardia* they gave him Adenosine to slow his heart rate…..I'm sure he'll get better! Good Luck!

  53. Gwen says – reply to this


    53

    Scary. The situation and the picture.

  54. phoq says – reply to this


    54

    yes, gwen…do post us a pic when you're 55

  55. Sugar says – reply to this


    55

    Hmm. Sounds like SVT's. They can be scary. It hurts up into the throat and jaw. Maybe not life- threatening, but if it is something new to him they can be scary and probably unable to perform through. If he keeps getting them he can get a cardiac ablation and all will return to normal.

    NICE BALL SAC !!

  57. Sarah says – reply to this


    57

    He looks really good. He's got that androgynous thing goin, but still a very attractive man.

    His eyes do bug me out a little bit.

    Is that his "Blue Steel" look?

    My brother had a wall sized poster of Kiss back in the 70's. I LOVED THEM !!! I'd still do Paul! Yummmm…

  60. Mary from Sydney says – reply to this

    Kiss (Gene and Paul primarily) were and hopefully are very anti-drugs. Watch Decline of Western Civilisation - The Metal Years. The didn't do drugs - they did groupies :)

  61. Lo says – reply to this

    Those look like women's TR Bobby Destroyed, size 29. LMAO!

  62. ChanceEcho says – reply to this


    62

    A classy comment which shows the band puts the fans first. Kiss have been popular for over 2 decades with fans that stick with them and the bands loyalty to thier fans is well known and appreciated!

  63. mammagreenbuds says – reply to this


    63

    Ummm…Kiss guys were all very anti drug. That's why they were so successful and still have all thier money and health. These guys are very professional I'm sure it's one of the only time any of them cancelled out.

  64. toonkinstien says – reply to this


    64

    svt…he'll be okay…maybe from that huge scrotum he's got going….don't make get all medical on you!!…my professional opinion….NEXT!!!

    Doughboy, Paul is jewish too. Does your anti-semitism only come out with Gene? Hey, the dry cleaners called and said your brown shirts are ready.

    Paul is not the Kiss frontman, Gene Simmon's is. But doesn't really matter anyways b/c Kiss has terrible musicianship and sucks.

  68. marianelly says – reply to this


    68

    How sad. I hope he gets better soon. Nice bulge too!! At least he still has a BIG ONE.

  69. SARA says – reply to this


    69

    I was at that concert. We missed Paul but they still F**kin' rocked! They are the only band that seemed genuinely thankful for their fans. Easily one of the best concerts that I have ever been to.

    LOL! He has such a gay face for a "straight" guy. And he always has. Those perched lips. Hot.

  72. Samstown says – reply to this

    Now that is just scary! It sounds like his doc is on top of things. I hope that he recovers and this doesn't happen again!

  73. paul-is-gay says – reply to this


    73

    "Kiss guys were all very anti drug." Sure, Ace and Peter Criss mostly. SVT my ass, that's coke or meth. Or AIDS.

  74. Krissi says – reply to this


    74

    for those who THINK they know it all. Paul is, and has always been the frontman. I've met KISS many times, been a fan since small NY clubs. Paul used to do coke occassionally, back in the day. The 2 former members got axed from KISS due to their drug addictions (Peter Criss and Ace Frehley). Gene has never done drugs, and rarely drinks.
    Good luck Paul….much love

    PAUL IS A CLOSET HOMO. DONT LET THE SKANY GROUPIE WHORES FOOL YOU. THIS GUY HAS BEEN LIVING IN THE CLOSET FOR SEVERAL YEARS. HE IS GAY GAY GAY AND NOT PROUD OF IT. EVEN FELLOW GAY ROCKERS LIKE ROB HALFORD OF JUDAS PRIEST KNOW THAT PAUL IS GAY AS HE CLEARY SHOWS UP ON THE GAYDAR.

    My son worked that concert (security) and I'm so glad that Kiss decided to go on with the show without Paul. The security team was prepared for mayhem if the show did not go on!!

    Yikes, tachycardia is scary, esp. for an old dude like that. Definitely should have stayed on a monitor all night.

    91

    Geez, he has a major buldge going on down South. I almost had a cardiac episode looking at it.

    He should definately lay off the knife/botox. He looks very odd.

  92. kira says – reply to this


    92

    Some years ago I had the pleasure of dining with Paul a group of his friends & his girl and he was such a gent! I hope he gets a handle on what sounds like artial fribrillation..sounds like he got some drugs in his future. Haha

    :D :D :D :D :D

  93. BeenThere says – reply to this


    93

    What he had is SVT (supraventricular tachycardia) and he was given adenosine. I know this because I've had it - not life-threatening. I did have the ablation to have it "repaired". The IV and the heart-stopping thing isn't as dramatic as he is making it sound - or would want you to believe.

  94. Michelle says – reply to this


    94

    Part of his problem is that his pants are too tight!
