I can't tell you more about it.

And that'll be coming out at some point." Gene told Pollstar magazine last month that "new" KISS songs will be featured the upcoming avatar-based KISS show, which is tentatively scheduled to launch in Las Vegas in 2028.

That doesn't change.

It doesn't matter how old you are.

You're supposed to enjoy your life, you're supposed to do things your way.

That's timeless.

That's rock and roll." The band has been touring in support of their farewell tour since completing the "End Of The Road" five-year, 250-date trek.

KISS returned to the stage at their "KISS Kruise: Landlocked In Vegas" event held November 13-15 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
