Kiss fan retools bathroom in band's honor

Rick Hoffman just might be the world's most ardent fan of KISS. The KISS-themed bathroom of his Canton home is pretty strong proof.

There are legions of followers of the 1970s-era glam rock-and-roll band KISS.

And then there is Rick Hoffman.

You can call Hoffman, a longtime Canton resident, a fan, but that would be an
understatement at best. He is, in his very own words, “the number one KISS fan in the world.”
In fact, Hoffman is such a KISS enthusiast that he has devoted a room in his house to the band. He decorated and customized the room: a half-bath on the first floor of his home that has become a shrine to KISS lead singer Gene Simmons and his band mates. It is a sight to behold, complete with a special-order black sink, black toilet and, of course, black light.

However, the black light is not the only light in the room. The bathroom features multiple lighting options including a red light and a regular overhead light as well as customized murals and specially designed handmade plaques featuring busts of KISS band members.
And that is only the beginning.
