KISS Appear On America's Got Talent, Announce Farewell Tour In 2019

Last night everyone's favourite Knights In Satan's Service, KISS, announced – during an appearance on America's Got Talent, where else? – that their 2019 tour will be a "farewell" tour. They're calling it One Last Kiss: End Of The Road World Tour.

"This is gonna be our last tour," said Paul Stanley. "It will be the most explosive, biggest show we've ever done. People who love us, come see us. If you've never seen us, this is the time. This will be the show."

KISS added in a statement: "All that we have built and all that we have conquered over the past four decades could never have happened without the millions of people worldwide who've filled clubs, arenas and stadiums over those years. This will be the ultimate celebration for those who've seen us and a last chance for those who haven't. KISS Army, we're saying goodbye on our final tour with our biggest show yet and we'll go out the same way we came in… unapologetic and unstoppable."

Blabbermouth reports that rumours of KISS' final live shows gained momentum a few months ago after news broke that the band were applying to trademark the phrase "The End Of The Road."

We're not sure if this is it though: KISS already performed a farewell tour back in 2000. It's true that that outing was the last to feature drummer Peter Criss, but someone should've written a strongly worded letter to the Better Business Bureau about their use of the term "farewell", as they certainly stuck around for a while longer. Stanley later said of the tour it was an attempt by the group to "put KISS out of its misery" after many years of bad blood and arguments over songwriting credits between the band's original members.

Who knows if this time it will stick, but we'll probably go to the shows anyhow, as you can't have a bad time watching KISS.
