Episode 484, June 28, 2022 This week we share a very touching letter we received from one of our listeners, Brian. The letter is about Kendall, Brian’s brother-in-law and KISS brother, and the lose of Kendall to cancer. Brian shares how the bond over KISS created a special relationship with Kendall. 

“In my life, family is everything. And there's nothing more devastating that losing a piece of your family. But the love Kendall and I shared for KISS, and the true gift of your podcast, has made that loss a little easier. I feel that, as fans of KISS, we share a bond that is akin to family. And I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there, like a family, when I needed you.” - Brian

What Brian shares illustrates why all those crying over their issues with the band just aren’t important. Enjoy your life, be happy and celebrate the great things and great connections KISS has brought to our lives.

Forget the haters, we won!
