TheNew York Times bestselling author and KISS rock star grants fans an all-access Backstage Pass to his personal life and rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle.

In this follow-up to his popular bestseller Face the Music, Paul Stanley—the Starchild—takes us behind the scenes, revealing what he’s learned from a lifetime as the front man, rhythm guitarist, and driving force of KISS, and how he brings his unique sensibility not only to his music career but to every area of his life—from business to parenting to health and happiness.

Backstage Pass takes you beyond the makeup as Paul shares fascinating details about his life—his fitness routine, philosophy, business principles, how he maintains his inspiration, passion, and joy after nearly fifty years of mega success including selling out tours, 100 million albums sold and an art career that has amassed over ten million dollars in sales.

Divulging more true stories of the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer’s relationships, hardships, and pivotal moments, it also contains intimate four-color, never-before-seen photos from Paul’s personal collection, and offers surprising lessons on the discipline and hard work that have made him one of the healthiest and most successful rock ‘n’ roll icons in history.

This is hard-won advice from a music legend for fans who love living large, but also want to take control and move ahead in everyday life. Paul shows you how you can rock ‘n’ roll all night and party every day—without missing a beat.
