PAUL STANLEY Was 'Surprised' To Hear His Voice Cracking Prior To Vocal-Cord Surgery

November 10, 2011

KISS lead singer Paul Stanley underwent successful surgery on October 25 for "recurring vocal cord issues" that the musician said "come with 40 years of preaching rock 'n' roll." Stanley told The Hollywood Reporter that he powered through four decades of concerts "through sheer willpower" so his band could "cram in as many shows as possible to maximize profit." But, he cautioned, "the nature of rock singing is a strain on the voice and when you compound that with that amount of shows, you're not giving yourself time to recuperate and the problem is compounded I was finding myself working harder and harder to do what was once effortless, and having already passed through puberty, I was surprised to hear my voice cracking."

His doctors said Stanley will make a "swift and complete" recovery.
