Quick update & photos from the final night. Firstly a Q&A with KISS, all laughing & joking with each other. Won't go into much detail just now but Paul did hint at writing new material for a future project.

Then some deep cuts from Bruce & his band including Sword & Stone, Silver Spoon, Turn On The Night, Spit, Forever, Tough Love, Crazy, Crazy Nights & God Gave R&R To You II. At one point Eric Singer replaced Brent to play Domino. Great stuff.

Wow, no make-up, no problem. Plus..... Bruce made a special appearance for Lick It Up & Rock & Roll All Nite!

Photos taken by me, need some sleep!

KISS Kruise Vegas is well underway at the Virgin Hotel. After a tribute to Ace with a moment's silence the outdoor acoustic show got underway.

Great news for those going to Vegas - KISS have announced that Eric will be on drums 🥳

"With less than one week to go for the KISS event of the year we are proud to announce the addition of Eric Singer to the KISS Kruise. He will join the band on both shows, as KISS performs together first the first time since Madison Square Garden in 2023 - this time without makeup."

Happy Birthday to Mr Tommy Thayer - 65 today!

Happy Halloween!

Just heard that Danny Francis, KISS' head of security, has passed. Danny was always very kind to me, he even helped me set up my KISS stuff on BBC's The One Show back in 2011.  RIP Danny.

The show's producers just left me to get everything set up & Danny came over to help (giving me a Gene pick in the process). Once we'd set everything up, Gene then came to inspect, including having an interest in some Psycho Circus sports drink cans. Danny (2nd from left) was in great spirits and was enjoying being there as the rest of us. RIP Danny.

I imagine today has been a surreal day for most of us, shock, disbelief, no sleep and sadness. Still can't quite believe what has happened in the past day, but be safe in the knowledge that we are all going through the same thing.

Here's a couple of pics from one of the greatest Ace shows we've ever been to, London Astoria, April 2008. Were you there?

Sadly Rolling Stone magazine have reported that Ace Frehley has died at the age of 74.

Another of our heroes has gone, RIP Ace, planet Jendell awaits.

Our thoughts are with Ace's family, friends and millions of fans.

Update: Statement from Ace's Family:

"We are completely devastated and heartbroken. In his last moments, we were fortunate enough to have been able to surround him with loving, caring, peaceful words, thoughts, prayers and intentions as he left this earth. We cherish all of his finest memories, his laughter, and celebrate his strengths and kindness that he bestowed upon others. The magnitude of his passing is of epic proportions, and beyond comprehension. Reflecting on all of his incredible life achievements, Ace's memory will continue to live on forever!"

This is all we have right now - TMZ is reporting that Ace has been on life support since taking a fall in his studio. Awful news if true, thoughts are with him & his family.
