    Biography Flash: Gene Simmons Storms Capitol Hill While Defending Trump and Booking New Solo Tour Dates
    2025/12/28
    Gene Simmons Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

    Gene Simmons has spent the past few days proving that retirement from Kiss does not mean disappearing from the headlines. The most consequential development for his long term biography is his full tilt dive into politics adjacent advocacy in Washington. According to LiveNOW from FOX video coverage of Capitol Hill, Simmons appeared before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Intellectual Property this month to testify in favor of the American Music Fairness Act, arguing that AM and FM radio must finally pay recording artists when their songs are broadcast. In carefully prepared remarks, he framed it as a generational issue, saying that todays pennies matter for tomorrow’s stars and for our children and our childrens children, positioning himself not just as a rock icon but as an industry elder trying to reshape the royalty system. ABC and other national outlets echoed that this puts Simmons squarely in the middle of a potentially major shift in how radio and artists share billions in revenue.

    That testimony fed straight into a fresh media blitz. Consequence and Fox News report that Simmons appeared on CNNs Inside Politics with Manu Raju, where he doubled down on two themes with real biographical weight. First, he urged Americans to shut up and stop worrying about their neighbors political beliefs, insisting that who you support is nobody’s business but your own. Second, he praised his long relationship with Donald Trump, at one point likening the way people argue about Trump to arguments over Jesus, a comparison that has fueled days of commentary and criticism. Paste Magazine and The A.V. Club describe this as part of an awful press tour, accusing Simmons of using controversy to keep himself in the spotlight, a characterization he has not responded to publicly but that reinforces his long standing image as an unapologetic self promoter.

    On the business and touring front, Simmons continues to treat Gene Simmons the brand as a going concern. Blabbermouth, BrooklynVegan, Ultimate Classic Rock and Consequence all detail new 2025 U.S. solo dates with the Gene Simmons Band, including shows in Tallahassee, Beaver Dam, Red Bank, Dallas and Houston in late April and May. The reports emphasize his stripped down but highly lucrative touring model: local promoters provide gear and logistics, while he shows up with little more than a bass and a guitar pick and pockets a six figure fee per night. In the longer view, that cements his post Kiss narrative as a case study in rock star capitalism, milking the Kiss catalog and his own persona without the expense or physical strain of the old makeup and arena production.

    On the home front, Metal Wani and other rock outlets picked up a more personal story with a tabloid edge. Simmons wife, Shannon Tweed Simmons, posted security footage on Instagram showing an unidentified thief stealing Christmas packages from their property, gifts their son Nick had sent for the holidays. The clips went viral, with fans flooding the comments to express sympathy and to joke nervously about anyone being brave enough to steal from Gene Simmons. So far there has been no public update on an arrest or recovery of the gifts, and neither Gene nor Nick has commented directly, but the incident feeds into the ongoing social media portrait of the Simmons household as both celebrity compound and surprisingly ordinary family dealing with the same porch piracy plague as everyone else.

    Taken together, the last few days have seen Gene Simmons in three modes that will matter to any future biography: policy advocate in Washington fighting for artist royalties, media lightning rod stoking debates about Trump and political privacy, and still active touring businessman rolling out another round of cash efficient solo dates, all while his family life plays out in real time on Instagram.

  • Gene Simmons Biography Flash: Trump Defense, Capitol Hill Testimony, and Kiss Kennedy Center Honors

    Gene Simmons Biography Flash: Trump Defense, Capitol Hill Testimony, and Kiss Kennedy Center Honors
    2025/12/24
    Gene Simmons Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

    Gene Simmons has spent the past few days doing what he does best mixing show business, sharp opinion, and shrewd business in a way that feels like a new chapter in his biography, not an epilogue. CNNs Inside Politics aired his recent sitdown with Manu Raju, where Simmons defended his long relationship with Donald Trump, even likening Trumps polarizing status to that of Jesus in American life, and bluntly told Americans to shut up and stop worrying about their neighbors politics, stressing that political choices are private and nobody elses business, as covered by CNN and amplified by outlets like Fox News, Exclaim, and the AV Club. Those remarks triggered a mini media storm, with Fox News, Paste and AV Club all dissecting his comments and framing them as part of what some critics call an aggressive new press tour, a reputational storyline that could stick to his image for years.

    At the same time, Simmons has been positioning himself as a policy advocate and elder statesman of the music business. LiveNOW from Fox and Bloomberg Television carried his testimony and follow up interviews from Capitol Hill, where he pushed hard for the American Music Fairness Act, arguing that U.S. terrestrial radio makes billions while paying recording artists nothing, calling it an injustice and warning that with AI on the horizon, it is urgent to modernize how performers are paid. In these appearances, he repeatedly thanked Trump for signing the earlier Music Modernization Act and cast himself as a defender of future generations of artists, a stance with clear long term biographical weight.

    On the business and touring front, Blabbermouth, Ultimate Classic Rock, BrooklynVegan, and local outlets in markets like San Antonio report that the Gene Simmons Band has added more U.S. dates for spring 2025, from Florida and Kentucky to New Jersey, Texas, and beyond. Simmons boasts in interviews that his stripped down solo business model flying in with just a guitar pick while promoters supply everything has made these gigs more profitable than his days in Kiss, underlining his long running persona as a rock star who thinks like a CEO.

    Meanwhile, coverage of this months Kennedy Center Honors on CBS and in outlets like Fox News and the North Dallas Gazette has spotlighted Simmons and his Kiss bandmates being honored alongside other cultural heavyweights, with images of Simmons at the White House and on the Kennedy Center stage reinforcing his transition from fire breathing shock rocker to institutional icon.

    There are no credible reports in the past 24 hours of major new scandals or surprise business deals beyond ongoing chatter about the planned Kiss avatar show and documentary projects, which remain in development and not yet dated, according to recent rock press coverage. Any social media buzz tying Simmons to fresh political schemes or secret Kiss reunions this week appears speculative and unconfirmed by primary outlets or by Simmons himself.

  • Biography Flash: Gene Simmons Testifies to Congress While Planning Solo Tour After Kennedy Center Honors

    Biography Flash: Gene Simmons Testifies to Congress While Planning Solo Tour After Kennedy Center Honors
    2025/12/21
    Gene Simmons Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

    Gene Simmons has been everywhere in the last few days, blurring the line between elder statesman of rock and headline machine. In Washington, he stepped squarely into public policy, testifying before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee on the American Music Fairness Act, arguing that artists deserve to be paid for radio airplay and blasting broadcasters for keeping what he framed as billions in ad revenue while performers get nothing, as shown on coverage from CBS News and LiveNOW from FOX. Bloomberg Television’s Balance of Power then featured him expanding on that theme, likening current radio practices to being run over by a truck and insisting Congress and the president must act to protect the next generation of musicians.

    Those political and economic moves came on the heels of a major cultural milestone: Simmons, alongside Paul Stanley and Peter Criss, reunited in tuxedos at the Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, D.C., where Kiss was celebrated as part of the 48th annual class in a ceremony hosted by President Donald Trump, as reported by Blabbermouth and DC Theater Arts. The official Kennedy Center recap video underscores the emotional weight of that night, shadowed by the recent death of original guitarist Ace Frehley and Simmons’s own public comments that Ace heartbreakingly did not live long enough to sit in that hall and hear luminaries praise Kiss.

    At the same time, Simmons is plotting his next business and touring chapter. Ultimate Classic Rock and BrooklynVegan report that he has announced U.S. solo dates for 2025 with the Gene Simmons Band, starting April 28 in Tallahassee and moving through Beaver Dam, Red Bank, Dallas, and Houston, a continuation of the post–farewell-tour strategy that saw Kiss sell their catalog and IP to Pophouse and develop an ABBA-style avatar show expected to launch in 2027. In interviews flagged by rock media and Eddie Trunk’s site, Simmons has also been weighing in on artificial intelligence in music and boasting that his solo gigs, minus the iconic makeup, are both more comfortable and more lucrative than his old Kiss paydays.

    On social media, the biggest Simmons-related flashpoint this week was his apology on X for earlier comments tying Ace Frehley’s death to “bad decisions,” which Metalsucks reports he now calls wrong and hurtful, stressing that he has always loved his late bandmate. That walk-back, along with public defenses from figures like Dee Snider noted by Alternative Nation, shows Simmons still understands the fine line between blunt honesty and legacy-threatening backlash.
