Paul Stanley co-founded the band Kiss with Gene Simmons in the 70s with the group becoming known for their raucous and outlandish antics on the stage.
The performer kept it casual for his low-key outing as he was spotted without his trademark Kiss make-up that the band became well known for.
He opted for a simple patterned shirt and a pair of light blue denim jeans as he made his way to Starbucks for his regular coffee order.
Paul flashed a smile as he made his way back to his car carrying his drinks.
You’d be forgiven for not recognising Paul thanks to the star usually sporting heavy theatrical make-up for Kiss.
The star and his bandmates previously explained how in the early 70s New York, the glam rock trend was prevalent with many male rock stars choosing to wear make-up to mirror their female counterparts.
However, Kiss decided to create their own unique looks after confessing it was “unconvincing” that they could don regular make-up.
Speaking of their unique look, Paul’s bandmate Gene Simmons recalled: “At the same time that we were forming in New York, there was a very big glitter scene, where boys were basically acting like girls and putting on makeup.
“Well, we were more like football players — all of us were over 6 feet tall — and it just wasn’t convincing!”
Paul is a father-of-four and shares three children with his wife Erin Sutton.
Paul and Erin wed in 2005 and shared children Sarah, 15, Colin, 18, and Emily, 13, with her.
He also has a son, 30-year-old Evan Stanley, from his failed marriage to first wife, actress Pamela Bowen.
Pamela divorced him in 2001 after nine years of marriage.
Paul Stanley's career
AS well as his time in KISS, Paul has enjoyed some ventures away from the band.
Over the course of his career, he has released two solo albums.
His first was a self-titled record in 1978 whilst still a member of the rock band and marketed under the look he became famous for in the group.
It wasn’t until 2006 that he went on to release a second solo record.
In 1999, he became a stage performer for the first time when he began appearing in a production of The Phantom of the Opera throughout 1999 in which he closed the show’s ten-year run in Toronto, Canada.
In 2012, he and bandmate Gene headed into business when, along with the help of three investors, they launched the restaurant chain, Rock & Brews.
Paul published his autobiography, Face the Music: A Life exposed, in 2014.
