On April 9, Kiss will be on the hit ABC reality dancing show, performing two songs. “It never stops,” Simmons says. “It’s a business a day. There’s a lot going on every day every month — all mapped out through next year. KISS really is an empire. Business has always been up there. I’m Jewish and proud of it, so there was no choice in the matter.”

Its expected that by later today (March 20) tour dates will be officially announced for Kiss’s string of dates with Motley Crue. It’s rumored to be a three month tour beginning on July 19. The band will release their new album ‘Monster’ before then.
