Artisan News Services is reporting PAUL STANLEY of KISS has released his book Face The Music, and despite criticism from current reports he stands behind calling out former members PETER CRISS and ACE FREHLEY being anti-Semitic towards them because they are Jews and added it's not just them and is not taken out of context.

Harper Audio Presents has posted an excerpt of KISS frontman Paul Stanley reading the prologue from his new book, Face The Music: A Life Exposed. An interview clip is also included:

Face The Music: A Life Exposed was released in all formats, including eBook and spoken word, today, April 8th.
