Paul Stanley is joining his legendary band, KISS, on stage, in Australia in November, for their last hurrah, a farewell tour.
But the 66-year-old has confessed that the rock act’s high-octane tours aren’t as easy as they were when the boys began their career in the 1970s.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, the guitarist said: ‘I’m 66. People half my age probably wish they were in the same shape.’
‘But there’s no beating the clock. You can’t. There are no 60-year-old footballers or basketball players or track runners. Your body can’t take that,’ he admitted.
The musician however promised that KISS are ‘more than a rock band’ and were still putting on a hell of a show.
‘At this point we are facing the inevitable and want to do it in the best way possible. We want to do it while we feel great as opposed to letting things deteriorate,’ he told the publication.
Joining Paul For this farewell tour will be singer Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer.
Always energetic and flamboyant, KISS are known wigs, make-up, platform boots, and pyrotechnics.
Founded in 1973, Kiss did its first farewell tour in 2000, but decided to keep going afterward .
KISS announced their final tour after kicking off the America’s Got Talent finale in September.
The legendary glam rock band announced they’re capping off their impressive 45-year career with the ‘multi-year’ End of the Road World Tour.
The Australian leg of the tour kicks off at the RAC Arena in Perth on November 16 2019.
