KISS is going to rock and roll all night for one last tour.
And the explosive band apparently means it this time.
The group announced its final series of live shows, called End of the Road, on “America’s Got Talent” and social media Wednesday. Details are forthcoming, KISS said on its website.
“All that we have built and all that we have conquered over the past four decades could never have happened without the millions of people worldwide who’ve filled clubs, arenas and stadiums over those years,” the Rock and Roll Hall Of Famers said in a statement to Billboard. “This will be the ultimate celebration for those who’ve seen us and a last chance for those who haven’t. KISS Army, we’re saying goodbye on our final tour with our biggest show yet and we’ll go out the same way we came in ... unapologetic and unstoppable.”
KISS launched a farewell tour in 2000 ― but this time Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons will be saying goodbye without fellow original members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss.
KISS, the makeup wearing crew that churned out hits such as “Rock and Roll All Nite” and “Beth,” seized its national television platform on “America’s Got Talent” to make the announcement ― and play “Detroit Rock City” to open the season finale.
