Kiss bassist Gene Simmons has said he is \u201ccompletely fine\u201d after being hospitalised following a car crash earlier this week.<\/p>\n
On October 7th, Simmons\u2019 Lincoln Navigator crashed into a parked car in Malibu at around 1pm local time on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.<\/p>\n
Emergency services arrived at the scene shortly afterwards. They later shared that Simmons spoke to first responders and explained that he had passed out or fainted before accidentally crashing into the parked car after losing his consciousness.<\/p>\n
It later emerged through Simmons\u2019 wife, Shannon Tweed, who told NBC 4 Los Angeles that doctors recently changed his medications and medical professionals have informed him that he needs to drink more water, which the rock musician apparently is struggling to do.<\/p>\n
Tweed said he is currently doing fine, which Simmons has since backed up in a statement on social media. On X, Simmons wrote, \u201cThanks, everybody, for the kind wishes. I\u2019m completely fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
He then admitted to being at fault for the incident, adding, \u201cI had a slight fender bender. It happens. Especially to those of us were horrible drivers. And that\u2019s me. All is well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Additionally, a representative for Kiss has told Billboard that Simmons is \u201calready back to work\u201d following the incident.<\/p>\n
Simmons previously worried fans at a concert in Brazil with Kiss on their farewell tour in 2023 when he appeared to be struggling. He later issued a statement explaining to fans it was \u201cnothing serious\u201d and shared that he had \u201cexperienced weakness because of dehydration.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added on social media, \u201cWe stopped for about five minutes, I drank some water, and then all was well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Next month, Kiss are set to reunite for an unmasked show in honour of the Kiss Army fan club\u2019s 50th anniversary next month. The celebrations will take place in Las Vegas at Virgin Hotels from November 14th to November 16th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
