Kiss frontman Paul Stanley has undergone surgery after tearing a tendon in his arm, he’s reported.

But he says he’ll be ready to take part in the band’s Freedom To Rock US tour, set to commence in July.

Stanley said via Twitter last night: “Tore my bicep tendon. Surgery reattached it with a screw and stitches to anchor in place. Now much I can do now!”

He later added: “Thanks to my amazing doctor I will be ready to rock way before the tour. Can’t wait!”

Stanley and former Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley this week released their collaborative cover of Free track Fire And Water, which appears on Frehley’s album Origins Vol 1.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
