During KISS farewell tour: Gene Simmons suffers a dizzy spell on stage – but returns.

Gene Simmons (73) suffered a dizzy spell at a performance by his band KISS in Manaus, Brazil. As eyewitnesses reported, the bassist of the US rock band had to leave the stage on Thursday (April 13). After a short break, Simmons returned. He played the rest of the concert sitting down. The Brazilian news portal published on Twitter a videothat shows the seated rock star.

“We have to take care of him because we love him, right?”

According to videos of concertgoers circulating on social media, singer and guitarist Paul Stanley (71) interrupted the performance. “Wait, wait,” he is said to have shouted. “We have to stop”.

“We know how much you love Gene and he’s obviously sick,” continued Stanley. “We have to stop caring about him because we love him, right?”

After a five-minute break, Gene Simmons returned to the stage and continued rocking in a chair. What exactly the man with the most famous tongue in the rock world suffered from is not known.
