DRESSED TO KILL

Get well soon to Dressed To Kill's Ash who suffered 3 broken ribs in a motorbike accident. Gary Banton posted the following on our forum:- 

Hi all,

As some of you have heard the news I thought I'd better put the facts up on here to ease your concerns....

Ash was involved in a major motorcycle accident yesterday on the M1. A VW Golf hard breaked in front of him leaving him no option but to hit the back of it. He hit the ground hard and blacked out. On coming around he had trouble breathing and was taken to hospital where they discovered he had 3 cracked ribs. 

He is in a lot of pain but is on painkillers & receiving physio. He should be out by the weekend and all better within a couple of months.

No DTK gigs are under threat and he thanks you all for your concern

At last, Paul Stanley's Live To Win is officially available over here in the UK. A full review will be posted this week, however expect even less promotion than Gene got for asshole. Some radio stations are trying to line up interviews but it's not looking too promising yet.

DJ Spoony was recently spotted on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing wearing a Gene Simmons t-shirt during practice, another closet fan??

Unfortuantely he's been booted off now...
