“Look, some people have kind of snickered and said, ‘Oh this End of the Road tour’s gone on for years,’” Paul Stanley said during the interview. “Yeah, we lost two and a half years to COVID. We would’ve been done already! So, yes, this is the end.”
Their ‘End of the Road’ tour was postponed for much of 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Rolling Stone reported.
The band will end their tour with two back-to-back shows at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
“Kiss was born in New York City. On 23rd Street. Half a century ago. It will be a privilege and honor to finish touring at Madison Square Garden, 10 blocks and 50 years from where we first started,” said the band in a statement to the Associated Press.
The band is currently made up of original members Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, as well as Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer. Their best-known songs include “Rock and Roll All Nite,” “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” and “Detroit Rock City.”
Tickets for the Austin show will be available to the public on March 10 at livenation.com.
