NEW YORK TIMES and INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER In Face the Music Paul Stanley?the co-founder and
famous ?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. Face the Music is the shocking
funny smart inspirational story of one of rock's most enduring icons and the group he helped
create define and immortalize. Stanley mixes compelling personal revelations and 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 and '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 and images throughout Stanley's memoir is a fully
realized and unflinching portrait of a rock star a chronicle of the stories behind the famous
anthems the many brawls and betrayals and all the drama and pyrotechnics on and off the
stage. Raw and confessional Stanley offers candid insights into his personal relationships
and the turbulent dynamics with his bandmates over the past four decades. And 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 and where my story might take them is why I'm sharing it.?
?Paul Stanley
