Gene Simmons Tests Positive For COVID-19

Last week, Paul Stanley tested positive for the coronavirus. Now, Gene Simmons has it too. This means four more KISS concerts are postponed. Everyone in the band and on the tour is vaccinated, so this is another breakthrough infection.

We are postponing the next four tour dates. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new dates once announced. More information will be emailed to ticketholders directly. pic.twitter.com/b28fmrhWIe

Unbelievable. You won’t take FDA/CDC approved vaccine, but you WILL take horse medicine!!!…Oklahoma stores selling out of horse medicine despite FDA plea not to take the drug https://t.co/T30XXZOnJb

This Is New...

David Lee Roth is off the KISS tour as opening act and he has been replaced by performance painter David Garibaldi. Apparently fans will be able to bid on the paintings that Garibaldi creates at the shows as a fundraiser for Crew Nation.

The tour kicked off Wednesday night - I wonder how Garibaldi's performances were received? A little bit of his performance is below and it does look cool! This is definitely a way to shake-up a rock tour.

KISS Lend Support To Fundraiser For Folds Of Honor

As a band and a brand, KISS has always done a lot to help military veterans and their families. Now KISS is helping again by promoting a fundraiser running through Omaze that supports Folds Of Honor. You don't have to give to enter to win, but the website suggests $25 as the most popular donation level. Donating cash gives you more chances to win.

What are you entering to win? A fancy new home in Austin, Texas or a million dollars. Donations close October 10, 2021 and the winner will be drawn about a week later.

There was a bonus prize for this fundraiser that included KISS concert tickets, but that has ended. The new bonus is $10,000 cash if you donate by this Friday, August 20.
