Gene Simmons says original KISS members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss won’t be part of the band’s final shows – and he’s pointing the finger at his former bandmates.

Simmons told 519 Magazine “I feel sad and angry that both Ace and Peter aren’t here”, blaming “egos, personalities, addictions” for their absence.

Simmons says he invited his former bandmates to take part in the ‘End of the Road’ farewell tour – even though back in 2019 Simmons insisted Frehley and Criss “will never be in KISS again.”

KISS will play its final show Dec. 2nd at Madison Square Garden.
