MALIBU, Calif. (AP) — Kiss rock star Gene Simmons is recovering
after he fainted while driving along the Pacific Coast Highway
in Malibu and crashed his SUV into a parked car, authorities
said.
Simmons, a co-founder and bassist for the legendary band, was
evaluated at a hospital Tuesday before being released. He posted
on social media that he was doing well.
“Thanks, everybody, for the kind wishes. I’m completely fine. I
had a slight fender bender. It happens,” he said on X.
The 76-year-old's SUV crossed several lanes before hitting a
parked car along the highway, agencies that responded to the
crash told several media outlets. Simmons was then transported
to a hospital, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said.
Kiss retired from a half-century of touring in 2023, but Simmons
and his bandmates plan to play in November at a special event in
Las Vegas. In August, President Donald Trump announced that Kiss
will be among this year's Kennedy Center honorees.
