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.”

WTF is it going to take for people to wake up?? I’m choosing my exit one way or another and I will be free doing so
Gene isn’t going anywhere. Think God has plans for him.
That boy sure does love America.
I like Gene.
This will catch masses of guard. It will be the great awaking on the vaxx hoax.
I’ve seen interviews of Simmons and he seems like an intelligent guy, but I never cared for Glam Rock at all.
The woman in the pic looks like a bustier version of Dana Perino.
I like him as well but you can’t help but laugh when stupid statements come back to bite you.
Why did he book shows if he is so worried about covid? He’s trying to be popular by blaming Trump.
They can KISS that tour goodbye! ;)
I had what I thought were some mosquito bites on my legs. I hadn’t seen any mosquitoes around my house so I was puzzled as to where they were coming from. So as a joke I asked my wife to see if they were symptoms of Covid. Sure enough, mosquito bite type rashes are listed as a symptom of Covid.
So I probably would have tested positive and those were my “mild symptoms”.
I haven’t canceled my tour yet.
I haven’t canceled my tour yet.
😂😂😂👍🏻
He would probably test positive for VD too.
It’s Shannon Tweed, Gene Simmon’s wife.
Blue Oyster Cult was better than Kiss anyway.
Dang, you beat me to the Bloom County ... bummer.
