Gene Simmons Tests Positive For COVID-19, Kiss Tour Postponed
NY Post ^ | 08/31/21 | Hannah Frishberg

Another member of the legendary rock group Kiss has tested positive for COVID-19.

Following a Friday announcement that Paul Stanley tested positive for the virus — and that the band was canceling the evening’s show as a result — Gene Simmons has also tested positive, and the group will be postponing multiple upcoming shows as a result.

“Kiss will postpone their next four tour dates. While Paul Stanley recently tweeted that he has recovered from COVID, Gene Simmons has now tested positive and is experiencing mild symptoms,” Kiss tweeted Tuesday. “The band and crew will remain at home and isolate for the next 10 days and doctors have indicated the tour should be able to resume on September 9th at FivePoint Amphitheatre in Irvine, CA.”

The Post has reached out to reps for Simmons for comment.

Purchased tickets for their “End of the Road” farewell tour will be honored at the new dates once they are announced, the post added. The now postponed shows were set to take place in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin. The show canceled upon Stanley’s diagnosis was in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania.

In announcing the rockers’ breakthrough cases, Kiss has also revealed that the entire band and touring crew are fully vaccinated. 

Members of Kiss “and their crew have operated in a bubble independently to safeguard everyone as much as possible at each show and in between shows,” the band wrote in a statement following Stanley’s diagnosis. “The tour also has a COVID safety protocol officer on staff full-time that is ensuring everyone is closely following all CDC guidelines.”

Stanley shared his experience with the virus on Twitter

“My COVID symptoms were MILD compared to many others and let me tell you … It kicked my ass,” he wrote Monday. “It’s over now.”

The “vaccines” are working.

They are a cure for Wuhan flu hysteria, not a vaccine for the flu.

Hysteria sufferers who get the vaccine overcome their hysteria, drop their precautions and get the flu.

The success of the vaccinations is measured by the number of vaccinated who get the flu.

Herd immunity can be delayed but not avoided.

He’s been pretty active on Twitter in regards to getting vaxxed and believes if you don’t, you’re a danger to those around you - looks like he became the danger to others

The hysteria is constant testing and thinking they’re sick because of a positive PCR test.

Funny how those kind of statements can come back and bite you. It’s true for both sides.

Just read the headline. I hope it isn’t true as, but still laughing at the irony.

Gene Simmons and his handlers are using the COVID excuse to avoid a tour with an abysmal ticket sales. The turnout was doomed the moment he opened his mouth called people idiots for not getting the Jim Jones Jab.
