このコンテンツについて
In the past few days Gene Simmons has stepped out of rock legend status and into the role of industry power broker, turning Washington D.C. into his latest stage. Music Business Worldwide and ABC Audio report that Simmons is headed to Capitol Hill to testify before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee’s Intellectual Property Subcommittee in support of the American Music Fairness Act, a bipartisan bill that would finally force AM and FM radio to pay recording artists when their music is played. According to the musicFIRST coalition and coverage in Relix, this will be the first Senate hearing on closing the so called radio loophole in more than a decade, and Simmons joins more than 300 artists who signed a letter to Congress demanding fair pay for airplay.
Blabbermouth and Entertainment Now describe Simmons dramatically seizing the White House briefing room podium, flanked by his wife Shannon Tweed and son Nick, to sell this cause directly to reporters. He name checked icons like Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra as artists who never saw a cent from radio spins, calling it an injustice in a business that generates billions. That impromptu appearance also doubled as a preview of his upcoming Senate testimony and as a media moment tying his advocacy to a broader defense of working musicians, including his own children.
At the same time his legacy is being formally enshrined. Lakes Media Music News and Entertainment Now note that Simmons and his KISS bandmates are in Washington to receive the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime artistic achievement, with the gala set to air nationally later this month, a milestone that will sit permanently in any future biography.
On the business front, Ultimate Classic Rock reports that Simmons has announced a run of solo tour dates for 2025, a lean operation where he tells interviewers he now pockets more from his own shows than he did with KISS, thanks to stripped down production and promoter covered costs. Bass site No Treble adds that after the initial announcement he expanded the tour and jumped on social media platform X to ask fans directly which deep cuts they want to hear, a small but telling glimpse of an artist who built an empire now using modern fan engagement tools to fine tune his next chapter.
There are scattered online rumors about behind the scenes political deals and reality projects tied to his D.C. visit, but as of now those remain unconfirmed and should be treated as speculation.
