Check out the latest cover of Fireworks magazine featuring Gene Simmons - Mick Burgess managed to get an interview with Gene just ahead of the European End of the Road Tour. Issue #87 is out in shops now.

Chris Dale has just produced this great KISS Guided Tour of London. Really useful if you're looking to do something similar. Chris is also on the lookout for videos from other cities, if you can help please leave a comment for him on the video.

Happy New Year KISS Army! Here's to a great 2019, what better way to start the year than a bit of Rock & Roll All Nite!

Happy KISSmas to you all, what did KISS Santa bring you? We're loving our 2019 KISS Calendar, looks awesome!

Rest in peace Flóra Klein, Gene's mother, who has died at the age of 92. Thoughts are with Gene & his family.

It's 27 years today since the world lost two great rock icons. One won't get as much media coverage as the other but will always be remembered by the KISS Army. RIP Eric.

Here's a quote given to me by Bruce Kulick a few years back:
"Eric was my friend, my bandmate and like a brother to me. He made me laugh, he made me angry,and when he passed on he made me cry. I remember his great drumming and his great sense of humor. 
I miss him but I know he will never be forgotten. I hope he is having some great jam sessions in heaven!! Bruce."
