Paul Stanley dedicated the 1980 Kiss hit ‘Shandi’ to Shandee who lost her life just one block from her home in Mackay last month.

“Before we go on I think everybody knows about a girl named Shandee Blackburn. We lost her. We wished she could be here with us. So we’d like to sing a little something for her, all of us”.

Shandee’s mother Vicki was at the show and had put in a request for the song to be played for her daughter who was named after the Kiss song.
