Kiss said goodbye to the stage this Saturday, December 2. But that doesn’t mean the band won’t give any more concerts. Indeed, the latter took the opportunity to present their new avatars on a giant screen, declaring that the latter will now replace them throughout the world.
A new era is beginning, as they say themselves. After 4 years of touring with the evocative name (“End of the road”, “the end of the journey”), the legendary group Kiss has turned the page after more than 50 years of career – and at least as many memorable hits. The last concert, held this Saturday at Madison Square Garden, was therefore a real event, in particular thanks to a little surprise that Gene Simmons and his cohorts reserved for their fans.
While they thought they were attending the band’s final concert, the spectators were able to get a taste of this famous new era. On a giant screen, KISS revealed the process of creating four avatars in the image of its members. Avatars who today see themselves faced with the heavy task of replacing the group on stage. A way like any other to be “immortalized”in the words of Paul Stanley.

“What we have accomplished is extraordinary”explains the singer on stage. “But that’s not enough. The group deserves to continue living, because the group surpasses us. » These avatars were created by Swedish company Pophouse Entertainment, whose name may sound familiar if you’ve been following recent ABBA news.

Indeed, it is also the one who is at the origin of the holograms of the group, now on tour with its show ABBA Voyage. For now, the avatars of the members of KISS seem confined to the big screen, as shown by their “interpretation” of the title God Gave Rock And Roll To You. We do not yet know if, ultimately, these will be destined to take the form of holograms moving on stage.
