Paul Stanley has told Rolling Stone magazine in a new interview that KISS has every intention of resuming its “End Of The Road” tour once the pandemic has subsided. “Totally,” he said. “We were 120 shows into it and having a ball [when the pandemic began].

Said frontman Tim McIlrath: “Today there is the promise of the America...

David Coverdale has just received his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. On Wednesday (March 17), the 69-year-old WHITESNAKE frontman, who lives in Reno, Nevada, took to his social media to share a photo of him sitting in his car after he got the shot, and he wrote in an accompanying message: “2:45 Received my first vaccination…A 1, 000 Thanks To Everyone Involved…What an AMAZING Operation!!!” Last month, Coverdale told Meltdown of Detroit’s WRIF radio station that he has been forced to delay his retirement tour due to the coronavirus pandemic which is sweeping the globe. “People, as you can imagine, are extraordinarily desperate to go to shows and to perform shows,” he said. “It’s just not safe, and it’s not gonna be the energy,...
