Gene Simmons has decided to cancel his upcoming solo tour dates, with rumors circulating that the move is tied to disappointing ticket sales. The tour, which had already been generating buzz due to its high-ticket prices, saw some backlash after Simmons offered an exclusive “roadie for a day” experience priced at a staggering $12,000

While the official reasons for the tour’s cancellation haven’t been fully disclosed, the rumored combination of steep ticket costs and low sales has raised eyebrows across the music industry.

Simmons, known for his bold personality and business ventures, may have underestimated the financial expectations of his fans, leading to this unexpected turn of events.

KISS' Gene Simmons says he's charging one fan more than $12k to be his "roadie" for a day due to "astronomical" insurance costs
