KISS postpones shows due to Gene Simmons' health
The band announced the news on Tuesday.
The newly postponed concerts were scheduled for Sept. 1 in Clarkston, Michigan; Sept. 2 in Dayton, Ohio; Sept. 4 in Tinley Park, Illinois; and Sept. 5 in Milwaukee. The last show was to have been part of Milwaukee's Summerfest.
Tickets that were purchased for the postponed concerts will be honored for the rescheduled dates when they are announced. Additional details will be emailed to ticket holders.
These four postponed shows follow three other dates that were delayed when Stanley revealed his diagnosis last week. The earlier concerts had been scheduled for Aug. 26 in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania; Aug. 28 in Raleigh, North Carolina; and Aug. 29 in Atlanta.
On Tuesday, Stanley tweeted, \"My COVID symptoms were MILD compared to many others and let me tell you...It kicked my a--. It's over now.\"
In other news, KISS also postponed the 2021 Australian leg of its \"End of the Road Tour\" because of ongoing COVID restrictions.
The trek, which had been scheduled for November and December of this year, has been moved to March and April of 2022.
