During an interview with Ultimate Classic Rock, Kiss’ Paul Stanley mentioned that the farewell tour must be a celebration of the band and not a celebration of the former members, this means, former Kiss members, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss will not take part in the farewell tour, therefore, there will be no reunion with the two former members.
Regarding this, Paul Stanley said:
“This tour is a celebration of the band and the life of the band over the past 50 years. It’s not a celebration of the original lineup.
”As important as the original lineup was, I can say that we wouldn’t be here today if not for them, and we wouldn’t be here today with them. […]
“It doesn’t make sense to allow anybody to come in and call shots. We are in great shape. The band is fantastic. I don’t want to mar the celebration (of the farewell tour). I don’t want to mar the situation. It’s been too good.”

Not kiss without ace or Peter isn’t this like the 6th farewell tour?lmao
Nah, that was Motley Crue, and i believe they had like 8 farewell tours lol
What does psycho Circus tour? I thought that was the farewell tour anyway and I was lucky enough to take my son anything else is just a cover band intill there music without ace and Peter,
I didn’t agree with Paul all the original members should be together they made kiss when ace and Peter left I stop listening to them and stuck with the classics. I know new members of other bands worked like AC/DC and Journey but hearing someone else singing beth and shock me isn’t the same.
