Gene Simmons Takes A PISS During KISS

Gene Simmons has a problem … a bladder problem.

It might just be timely for Kiss to do a merch deal with Depends after the veteran Kiss bass player’s bladder failed him during the Kiss show in Denver on Wednesday.

Gene let loose with a stream of urine midway through the Paul Stanley song ‘Hide Your Heart’.

Simmons failed bladder control 101 and without hesitating relieved himself on stage 3 minutes 40 seconds into Paul Stanley’s ‘Hide Your Heart’. The whole thing was captured on video.

Gene nonchalantly raises his bass, delivers his stream on the stage then casually steps back from his man-made puddle to resume performing. At 4:02 you see a security/roadie/janitor attempt to rush on stage to mop it up when Gene waves him away.

UPDATE: Gene comments on the story

as does Shannon Tweed
