The original members of KISS may have yet to play their final show. Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss opted against an on-stage reunion during their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014, but recent rumors suggest the foursome could get back together and tour next year.
In September, heavy metal savant Eddie Trunk reported that KISS planned to ask Frehley to rejoin the band. “I’m hearing from so many people. They keep saying, ‘They’re going to ask him back, he’s going to do one last tour with them in 2017.” During the latest episode of his Trunk Nation radio program, Trunk asked Frehley about the rumors, and while Frehley said that he’s yet to be contacted, he’s definitely interested
“I’m not ruling it out. It’s a possibility, I guess,” Frehely said, adding that “the ball’s in Paul [Stanley] and Gene’s [Simmons] court. If that’s something that they would like to do to end off the career of KISS, I think it could be… if it was handled correctly, it could be great.”
