Gene Simmons Says All Bands Should Halt Russia Performances

KISS’ Gene Simmons has stern words for bands still on the fence when it comes to their Russian concerts — what are you waiting for? Cancel it!

We got Gene at Kings Road Cafe Thursday in Los Angeles … he says bands should stick together in solidarity and take Russia off their tour schedules — something KISS is doing.

He tells us there are more important things happening in the world that should take priority over a simple rock concert — obviously referring to the war in Ukraine.

Gene thinks an American band that travels and puts on a show for the Russian people would be giving a thumbs up to President Vladimir Putin and his current attack.

Ever since the war began, artists have been pulling out of their Russian performances — Imagine Dragons, Eric Clapton, Gorillaz, and Louis Tomlinson are just a few.
