In late August, Kiss wrote on Twitter that Simmons had tested positive for Covid-19 with “experiencing mild symptoms” and that the band and crew “will remain at home and isolate for the next 10 days.”

Simmons’ positive Covid test came just days after singer Paul Stanley also caught the virus, forcing the band to postpone shows in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia. Kiss said in a statement that their entire band and crew are “fully vaccinated,” and that everyone has “operated in a bubble independently to safeguard everyone as much as possible at each show and in between shows.”

In a recent interview with IndieLand, Simmons urged fans to get vaccinated against Covid-19, saying, “I would highly recommend for everybody to get two Pfizer or Moderna shots, please — for the rest of us. Even if you believe the Earth is flat, it’s not.”
