Fantastic show at London's O2 Arena last night, the energy in the O2 was amazing. I was lucky enough to attend the soundcheck too, where there was a short Q&A and we were treated to unmasked renditions of Honky Tonk Women (while waiting for Paul), Plaster Caster, Hotter Than Hell, Shock Me, a short Q&A, Got To Choose, Parasite, Christine 16 and Love her All I Can.

The main setlist was the same as Birmingham with the slight change of I Was Made being moved to the encore and Do You Love Me dropped.

Gene was on Good Morning Britain this morning talking about the tour, gum, monarchy & politics.

It starts around 2:18:30 onwards.

KISS started their final tour of UK & Europe last night in Birmingham. Awesome show as usual but with the familiar setlist. Frank Skinner was spotted just in front of us with his son Buzz rocking out.

This is likely my last KISS show :-( but I spent it in great company with my wife & daughter, if you're going to one of the other UK/European shows have a great time!

The Muppets do KISS!

Last night in Manaus the show was stopped for about 5 minutes while Gene suffered dehydration in the heat.

Thankfully all is well, on Twitter he has said "Hey everybody, thanks for the good wishes. I’m fine. Yesterday at Manaus Stadium in Brazil, experienced weakness because of dehydration. We stopped for about five minutes, I drank some water, and then all was well. Nothing serious. Tomorrow, Bogota Stadium. See you there! "

RIP to John Regan who has sadly died at the age of 71. John was of course the bassist for Frehley's Comet for many years.

RIP to Paul O'Grady who has sadly died at the age of 67. We were lucky enough to be invited into the audience of his show when Gene Simmons was on there in 2007.
