KISS frontman Paul Stanley is working on his autobiography.
The singer shared an update on the progress of his project Sunday night on the red carpet at the annual Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Party in Los Angeles.
"My book is about three-quarters done. It should be pretty terrific,” he tells The Examiner. "I think there’s a lot to be said for self-empowerment for what you can accomplish, when you believe in yourself, and go against all the odds and adversity. So hopefully, it will be a book that is more than just a lot of smut, and a tell-all, or braggadocio."
So far, Stanley has not been very open when discussing hardships he has been through. There is a reason for this, Stanley explains, "I’m an entertainer. I’m a performer. People pay me to entertain. People pay me to forget about their problems. You don’t want to hear my problems. You don’t want to hear about mine.”
"The book is not finished yet,” he explains. “The first draft is almost done. I give it about four or five months. It's my life story. It's not just about Kiss, although Kiss has been a big part of my life. So I'd be cheating everybody if I didn't talk about that.”
