KISS co-founder and frontman Gene Simmons will make a stop in London this fall.
The legendary rocker is hosting an interactive evening at Budweiser Gardens on November 6. Billed as an "intimate and candid conversation" with Simmons the evening will include his life stories, a tell-all moderated discussion about his business approach to KISS, and new opportunities and risks taken as an entrepreneur.
Audience members will be able to ask the Rock n' Roll Hall of Famer questions during the show, which is one of only three being held in Ontario this fall. The others take place in Niagara Falls and Peterborough on November 8 and 9.
Simmons is coming off of the band's "End of the Road" world tour, its final one after a 45-year career.
Born Chaim Witz in Israel in 1949, Simmons' family moved to New York City when he was just 8-years-old. His mother later changed his name to Eugene Klein, so that he would sound more American.
Simmons rose to fame in the early 1970s after co-founding KISS with Paul Stanley. He was known as the Demon on stage - spitting blood and breathing fire while playing the bass. KISS sold more than 100-million albums worldwide, boasts over 3,000 licensed merchandise items, and in 2014 was inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame.
He went on to star in the reality television show "Gene Simmons: Family Jewels" alongside his wife, daughter, and son.
