This signed sheet music is for Forever by KISS, autographed by songwriter and vocalist Michael Bolton, who co-wrote the track with Paul Stanley. Released in 1990 on KISS’s album Hot in the Shade, Forever was a striking departure from the band’s signature hard rock sound. Instead, it showcased their softer, emotional side with a heartfelt power ballad arrangement. Paul Stanley’s impassioned vocals, paired with Bruce Kulick’s soaring guitar solo, turned the song into one of KISS’s biggest late-era hits. Forever climbed to number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band’s highest-charting single since their 1976 classic Beth. The song remains a fan favorite and is often celebrated as one of the defining ballads of the glam-metal era. Michael Bolton (born 1953), best known as a powerhouse pop and adult contemporary balladeer, was an accomplished songwriter before achieving fame as a solo artist. His collaboration with Paul Stanley on Forever brought Bolton’s melodic sensibilities into the world of hard rock, resulting in one of KISS’s most successful singles. Bolton himself went on to dominate the early 1990s with chart-topping hits like How Am I Supposed to Live Without You and When a Man Loves a Woman, winning multiple Grammy Awards and selling millions of records worldwide. His contribution to Forever is a fascinating example of the crossover between pop balladry and rock spectacle. Owning this signed sheet music for Forever is more than just holding an autograph—it is a unique piece of music history, tying together the worlds of KISS’s hard rock legacy and Michael Bolton’s hitmaking prowess. For fans of KISS, collectors of crossover collaborations, and admirers of classic 1990s ballads, this artifact represents both rarity and historical significance.
