Last week, Paul Stanley Kiss fans hope by commenting on the possibility of a one-off show by the band, even after the closing tour, End Of The Road . In an interview with the Daily Times , the 72-year-old musician said that "anything is possible" when asked about a potential reunion.
“Kiss is far from over, although Kiss as we know it is over. But having our hands, our ideas, and our fingers in the continuity of Kiss makes perfect sense. So, I'm looking forward to what comes next without knowing what comes next. But I'm open to everything,” Stanley declared.
A few weeks ago, during an interview on the Rock of Nations With Dave Kinchen & Shane McEachern (via Ultimate Classic Rock ), the guitarist stated that the band's retirement affected him emotionally. "There's no way to give it up and not feel a sense of, if not loss, disorientation," he said.
"It was time [for Kiss to stop touring], and intellectually it made sense, but that doesn't mean that emotionally, it didn't play a role in it," he expressed at another point.
Paul Stanley took the opportunity to comment on his decision to no longer perform on stage. “[…] I watch videos from 10 months ago, 11 months ago, and it feels like a lifetime ago, because I’ve kind of accepted not doing it again. Starchild is forever, but me up there, that’s over,” he explained.
Kiss in avatar
Although Kiss played their last show in December 2023, the band will continue performing, but through avatars. The virtual shows are scheduled to begin in 2027 and will be produced by the same company involved in the Voyage for the Swedish band ABBA . The musicians are directly involved in the production, even though they will no longer be performing live on stage.
According to Paul Stanley himself, the show will use new technology and will not be like the ABBA hologram show. "It will be an unmissable experience, beyond anything anyone has ever imagined," he declared on the Behind the Setlist .
