KISS LAWSUIT...official
https://www.rollingstone.com/music/musi ... 234851978/
THE FAMILY OF a Kiss guitar tech who died while quarantining in 2021 after contracting Covid during the band’s End of the Road World Tour is suing for wrongful death, according to a lawsuit reviewed by Rolling Stone.
Catherine Stueber, whose husband Fran had served as guitar tech for Paul Stanley for decades, filed the suit in Los Angeles on Wednesday along with several members of her family, claiming both negligence and wrongful death. Kiss founding members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, their longtime manager Doc McGhee, the tour’s promoter Live Nation, and hotel chain Marriott International were all named as defendants.
“As a direct and proximate result of the dangerous condition created by Defendants,” the suit said, “Decedent suffered fatal injuries and Plaintiffs suffered damages, including, but not limited to funeral and burial expenses, the permanent deprivation of the love, companionship, affection, solace, society, comfort, assistance, services and financial contributions, and moral support of Decedent in an amount according to proof at trial.”
Reps for the band, Live Nation, and Marriott didn’t immediately respond to request for comment.
The suit comes nearly two years after a Rolling Stone investigation detailed claims from several Kiss roadies who said that allegedly lax Covid protocols contributed to Stueber’s death. Several of those allegations from the story are included in the filing. The roadies said that the band didn’t regularly test the crew and that several crew workers fell ill with the virus before Stueber died.
“I couldn’t believe how unsafe it was, and that we were still going,” one roadie told Rolling Stone at the time. “We’d been frustrated for weeks, and by the time Fran died, I just thought, ‘You have to be fucking kidding me.’”
The band, however, refuted to Rolling Stone that the tour used safety protocols “that met, but most often exceeded, federal, state, and local guidelines. But ultimately this is still a global pandemic and there is simply no foolproof way to tour without some element of risk.”

Fran was a Trump supporting repuglican.
Lots of photos on Facebook of him socializing at restaurants and bars without wearing a mask when the "End Of The Road" continued.
He was told to seek treatment, but he refused.
Paul, Gene, Doc, LiveNation, and Marriott aren't responsible for the stupid behavior of another adult.
His wife is a cunt for lodging this law suit.
Hopefully it will be thrown out and not settled.

Re: KISS LAWSUIT...official
Yeah I remember reading on here that he was anti-vax. So he wasn't vaccinated, got Covid, and died. I hope they don't settle just to make it go away because this case should be easily dismissed.
There's also plenty of videos of Paul and Gene telling people to get vaccinated, and during the height of Covid, they were telling people to stay home. They did all the right things in this instance.
And Marriott? What the fuck did she want them to do? She's just hoping they'll pay her off to go away. Fuck her.

Fran used to do the you wanted the best intro. He was doing it right before he died and sounded like he was gargling razor blades.

You have to be the biggest KISS nutswinger on this board.
I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. These two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.

Moron. Just a KI$$ moron. To get a summary judgement or dismissed case, no fact can be disputed. That's why you see numerous counts in most lawsuits. Only individual counts can be dismissed. Not back to Paula cockrisingfarce wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2023 9:05 am Fran was a Trump supporting repuglican.

Also wasn't he one of the roadies that had a fake vaccine card? This lawsuit should be thrown out.

Fran having a fake covid vaccination card was mentioned in discussion boards after his death.
May have been a reason why he didn't seek treatment. It would have been exposed that he hadn't been vaccinated.

So he’d rather die than have people find out he wasn’t jabbed? Damn. Either that or Doc didn’t want people to know he wasn’t jabbed, in which case they may have a case. But the fact she’s sued the bloody HOTEL is a head scratcher.

Re: KISS LAWSUIT...official
Trump only said that when he thought he could brag and take credit for the vaccine (as if he thought it up). Once he realized the right wing media had turned the vast majority of people in his base against the vaccines, he became ambiguous about it.
All he had to do was get the shot himself on TV like a true leader would, but no, he waited until after he left the White House and did it in secret.
A total POS who only cares about himself every single time.
Re: KISS LAWSUIT...official
Of course, he did it to brag. Thats his M.O. But he also told people to get it and that he got it himself. So he's not as stupid as his base.NeonKnite wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2023 3:17 pmTrump only said that when he thought he could brag and take credit for the vaccine (as if he thought it up).

Of course, he got quiet about it when his moronic base was against it. All politicians do that shit.
Of course, he's a total POS that cares about himself every single time. Most politicians are. They say whatever they can to stay elected. Trump is on another level with that shit though.
I don't recall, but wasn't he out of the white house by the time the vaccine was ready? I recall him crying about Biden taking credit for it and Trump calling it "my vaccine."
There is a lot to tool on Trump about, but I am not sure this is one of those things. Or at least it's pretty low on the list.

Re: KISS LAWSUIT...official
Well, it was a thread about covid and apparently someone who believes partisan identities is more important than what doctors and scientists believe and ended up dead.
And just like you there are plenty of people on the democratic side who would like to see someone other than Sniffy Sleepy Joe at the wheel.
Personally, I'd like someone under 60 who isn't fucking insane and just wants to make the country better for all without adhering to specifically what checks boxes on the far right and far left agendas in order to make nutcases on both sides get all excited.
