KISS performed their first present in two years on Friday, and paid tribute to founding guitarist Ace Frehley, who sadly handed away final month as the results of accidents sustained at a fall at his studio.
The complete KISS lineup — Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer, and Eric Singer — carried out an unmasked acoustic set at their “KISS Kruise: Landlocked in Vegas” occasion in Sin Metropolis, marking their first efficiency since ending their farewell tour in December 2023.
Previous to the band launching into its first tune, Stanley addressed the viewers, saying, “Earlier than we get going, we simply needed to take a second to consider anyone who’s on the basis of this band. And we’re speaking about Ace. So, we actually had variations, however that’s what household is about. And why don’t we take a second, just a little quiet, to consider him wanting down on us — from [the planet] Jendell, most likely — and let’s have a second for Ace. Candles up.”

Plenty of followers within the viewers then held up battery-operated candles that have been presumably handed out to them previous to the present.
KISS proceeded to play an 11-song set consisting of quite a few deep cuts. The band will take the stage once more at “KISS Kruise: Landlocked in Vegas” to play a full-on electrical set on Saturday, however as soon as once more can be unmasked.
