Kiss singer Paul Stanley suffers heart ailment

[Roon]

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Paul Stanley, a singer and guitarist with rock band Kiss, was forced to pull out of a show in California on Friday after his heart started beating at more than twice the normal level, he said on his Web site.

The apparent tachycardia happened while the band was rehearsing for a performance at a casino in San Jacinto, California, about 90 miles (145 km) east of Los Angeles.

"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," Stanley, 55, wrote on his site www.paulstanley.com.

A normal heart rate at rest is about 60 to 80 beats a minute, according to the American Heart Association.

3. I wish him well

I was never a big KISS fan, but I always thought Paul was cute. Still is. :-)

Don't worry Paul, it's a safe bet you'll learn to get your heartbeat undercontrol (or get a pacemaker) and get back out on the road in due course.
