Gene Simmons Tests Positive To Covid, Australian Kiss Dates Postponed

by Paul Cashmere on September 1, 2021

in News

Gene Simmons of Kiss has tested positive to Covid-19 right as his fellow Kiss mate Paul Stanley is recovering from the same thing.

Both Simmons and Stanley were fully vaccinated but the band have postponed shows on their current ‘End of the Road’ North American tour as a result of the setback.

The shows effected are Clarkston MI, Dayton OH, Tinley Park Il and Milwaukee WI.

Meanwhile Paul Stanley reports he is nearly back on track after testing positive to Covid-19 last week.

Meanwhile Kiss’ Australian tour has been rescheduled to 2022. Paul Stanley said: “I am overwhelmed by the hundreds of messages of love and support that I have received from my Aussie fans and want to let you all know that I now feel great and am near my complete recovery. My doctors have told me that I was very smart to get fully vaccinated as that has clearly made the difference in making sure I don’t get really sick from this virus. I know that Australia is accelerating its vaccine roll out but, unfortunately, it won’t be in time for our November / December tour to proceed as scheduled. So, we will push the tour back a few months but, rest assured, WE ARE COMING FOR YOU!!”

The Damned + The Hard Ons, Northcote Theatre, Friday 22nd March 2024

The Damned released the first ever UK punk single, “New Rose” off album Damned, Damned, Damned, in 1976, and were often overshadowed by their English punk counterparts. Now in their late sixties and still touring world-wide, featuring the original line up of Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies and Paul Gray, they are the ones having the last laugh and have left their old rivals for dead, in certain respects, quite literally!
