KISS SEND AUTOGRAPHED SWAG TO INJURED TEEN

KISS CHEER UP INJURED TEEN

Windsor teen Shawn Kinghorn may have been too injured to see KISS blow away Sarnia’s Bayfest, but that didn’t stop his rock superheroes from acknowledging their fallen fan.
On Friday, representatives of Hotel-Dieu Grace Hospital presented Kinghorn with a KISS-approved compensation package: four KISS T-shirts, a hooded KISS sweater and an official KISS program autographed by Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer.
“It makes me feel special,” said Kinghorn, 13. “Because they don’t usually do this for, like, anybody.”
More than a month ago, Kinghorn had his heart set on seeing KISS in Sarnia. His father had the tickets, his friends were stoked.
But on July 1, while riding his brand new bike on Drouillard Road, Kinghorn became involved in an accident with an automobile. According to Kinghorn, the vehicle went through a stop sign, ran him over and dragged him 15 feet.
