Kiss performing at one of their last shows in New York City in 2023. Kevin Mazur/Getty Images Fifty years of “Kisstory” culminates in one last celebratory, but chaotic world tour in the new trailer for the upcoming documentary, Kiss: End of the Road.
The new film will offer a behind-the-scenes look at Kiss’ lengthy farewell tour, which launched in January 2019 and wrapped with a grand finale at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Dec. 2, 2023. The new trailer features plenty of Kiss’ characteristic on-stage theatrics, complemented by proclamations like this one from Paul Stanley: “Rock and roll is in my blood. I certainly wanted to get back out there to kick ass.”
But the trailer doesn’t shy away from some of the trek’s more difficult moments, like when a dehydrated Gene Simmons had to play sitting down during a concert in Brazil. The clip also ends with snippet of a candid interview with Simmons, still in his full make-up and costume, reflecting on the impending end.
“Emotionally, it won’t hit me until it hits,” he says. “You know your parents are gonna die, but when it happens it’s a kick to the gut.”
