Gene Simmons postpones dates on upcoming solo tour, fans assured it is not health related
Gene Simmons has quietly postponed 17 dates on his upcoming solo tour, with his team assuring fans the cancellation was not down to his health.The bassist and singer was set to head out on the road in the US with The Gene Simmons Band in April and May, with the tour intended to kick off at the Graton Resort & Casino in Rohnert Park, California on April 5.While preparing to hit the road again, the veteran rocker launched a handful of Experiences for fans to purchase ahead of the spring shows, with one dubbed ‘The Ultimate Gene Simmons Experience’ – which gives a fan the opportunity to help with load-in at the venue, stage set-up, and the ability to sit in on the sound check and hang out backstage.For a steep $12,495 (£9,667) in addition to the original ticket price, Simmons would also join the fan turned-roadie for a meal and introduce them during the show.However, in a recent statement given by Christina Vitaglano, who runs Simmons’ backstage VIP fan experience packages, it was revealed the April dates as well as the Texas leg of the May dates have all been postponed “until early 2026.”No reason has yet been given for cancelling more than half of the shows, but it is said not to be linked to his health in any way, per Louder Sound.While the cancelled shows are being described as postponed at present, tickets are being refunded and any of the roadie experience tickets sold for the affected shows can either be refunded or switched to any of the remaining available dates.

Kennedy, Jr., a vocal anti-vaccine advocate, says it aims to end ADHD, autism, and other chronic health conditions with “fresh thinking on nutrition, physical activity, healthy lifestyles, over-reliance on medication and treatments, the effects of new technological habits, environmental impacts, and food and drug quality and safety.”Almost immediately, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) condemned what it called the stigmatizing language and stated purpose of the commission, which established a 100-day mission to:“We know from the evidence and from our own clinical practice that the psychiatric drugs mentioned in the order, when prescribed and used as directed by properly trained psychiatrists, are safe, effective, and in some cases, lifesaving,” wrote APA CEO and Medical Director Marketa M.
