Gene Simmons has insisted Kiss will “continue” beyond touring.

The band will stop touring after their ‘End of the Road’ farewell trek but Simmons says KISS will still stick around in some form and do things he hasn’t “even thought of.” 

The bassist explained, “KISS the touring band will stop. But the touring band. KISS will continue in other ways. I have no problems with four deserving 20-year-olds sticking the makeup back on and hiding their identity.” 

He went on to say, “There could and should be a KISS show, kind of live on stage with effects and everything else, but also semi-autobiographical thing about four knuckleheads off the streets of New York that ends with the last third as a full-blown celebration, a full-on performance. Not with us. Although not a problem stepping in every once in a while.”
