Kiss Celebrate Guitarist's Birthday On Stage In Las Vegas

Veteran rockers Kiss marked their guitarist Tommy Thayer's birthday on stage in Las Vegas by serenading him and presenting the rocker with a cake.

The band kicked off a residency at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Sin City on Wednesday (05Nov14), and Thayer turned 54 on Friday (07Nov14), so the musicians made a special effort to celebrate his big day during their show that night.

Frontman Paul Stanley stopped the concert and led the crowd in a rendition of Happy Birthday. The singer also presented Thayer with a cake, joking about throwing in his face before adding, "Hey, I'm a lover not a hater."

Stanley also hailed Thayer as an absolute "professional" and branded him a "delight" to work with.
