Kiss plans to end their career after the end of the End of The Road Tour , announced as the group's final tour, but the farewell to the stage did not bring back the original lineup.
Without Peter Criss and Ace Frehley , the band has already played most of the shows scheduled before the pandemic hiatus. Even so, Paul Stanley doesn't rule out the possibility of his former bandmates joining him on stage during this tour.
“Everything is possible. I don’t rule anything out. I must say that we wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for our past. If Peter and Ace hadn’t been there in the beginning, we wouldn’t be here today,” he said in an interview with Regis Tadeu ’s channel (via Blabbermouth ). “But I’ll also say that if Peter and Ace had stayed with the band, we wouldn’t be here today either. So, you have to put it into some kind of balance and perspective.”
Although he doesn't rule out the possibility, Stanley doesn't believe the musicians' absence from the final tour would be a problem. "If there's a way to include them in the final tour celebration, yes, I'm open to it," he pointed out. "It has to make sense and feel right, because the band has existed for too long without them to let someone spoil it or make it less than it should be. If there's no joy in it, I'm not interested."
Last week, on April 27th, Ace Frehley turned 70 and was one of the topics discussed in Wikimetal during episode #321 of the country's longest-running rock podcast, which also celebrated two album anniversaries: Papa Roach 's Infest and Bullet For My Valentine's Fever . Listen or watch here .
