Sean Delaney Passes

Service for Sean Delaney will be held at the Provo Marriott 101 W. 100 North in Provo , Utah on Saturday April 19th at 10 AM. Flowers should arrive by 9AM.

The information below was posted at genesimmons.com

"Sad to report that SEAN DELANEY, our first road manager, co-writer and much more...has passed away. BILL AUCOIN, the band's first manager, called to tell me the sad news. Our condolences to the Delaney family. Sean and I spoke only a few weeks ago. He told me he had just started working with a new English Country and Western band. Aucoin also told me about that venture. Sean seemed happy to be working on something he cared about again. He also asked if he could introduce us when we played in his home town, and I, of course said yes. We both made plans to see each other when we arrived in his city. Sadly, he will not be able to introduce us. But, in more ways than one, Sean was one of the pivotal people in all our lives. He believed, when the world did not. He was there for us in the beginning and helped shape the direction of the band. He will be missed."

I actually interviewed Sean Delaney a few years ago when I used to do the KISS Freaks.com Special Delivery magazine. He was very interesting and open about his days with KISS. Very nice guy from my few conversations with him. Rest in peace Sean.

 

Cincinnati KISS Expo 2003 Review

by Michael Shoemaker
This was a true test of my dedication to the hottest band in the world. I had to work a third shift the night before. As soon as my shift ended, my friend Anthony "KISS is forever" Yates picked me up and we began our four hour trip. We arrived exactly one hour after admission doors opened. After paying our admission fee, I right away ran into fellow Evansville KISS fanatic Allen Tate. The two of us briefly spoke about the upcoming expo he is organizing for Evansville in June. I then entered the event room. There seemed to be a good turnout; although slightly lower than what I had seen at some past expos in other cities. The vendor tables were all doing brisk business. Most of them were the usual vendors. There were only a few I had not seen before. Having nearly cruised around every table in the room, I came upon my friend Steve Stierwalt at the KISS Freaks table. He had a few copies of the Animalize Live DVD on hold for Anthony and myself. Once Steve got them out for me ( his last available), everyone within visual distance started salivating. The moment we completed the purchase, we got our hot commodity back out to the car where it would be safe. Otherwise, we probably would have been mauled with the question "Where did you get that?" as much as Gene Simmons would have been with "Can I have your autograph?" if he were to have suddenly walked in the building.

KISS Tour Dates?

This hasn't been totally confirmed yet, but a rumored date for Indianapolis is August 17th for the Aerosmith/KISS show. The Indianapolis date has actually been listed on the Verizon Music Center concert list on indystar.com, but is not listed on their official website at http://www.verizonwirelessmusiccenter.com/, so take it as you want since nothing has been made official yet. So don't believe it until you see it.
