In an interview with Pollstar, the longtime Kiss manager Doc McGhee talked about the band’s farewell tour and the possibility of bringing all ex-members to their final concert on July 17, 2021.
He said about bringing all Kiss ex-band members:
“It’s going to be great. It’s going to be worthy of the end of the road. It will be worthy to the 45 years of the band, the last month for sure.
“We want to celebrate everybody and we might bring out all the former members. We’d like to. Nobody says we hate this guy; we hate that guy; we want everybody who wants to come out.”
Last November he also talked about this possibility:
“We want to include everybody that played with KISS to celebrate the 45 years. And everybody – [guitarist] Vinnie Vincent and everybody else – that played with KISS is part of this whole celebration of 45 years. So, we’re still looking at what we’re gonna do on the final show of KISS.”
Between the ex-members of the band are:
- Ace Frehley – Guitar (1973–1982, 1996–2002)
- Peter Criss – Drums (1973–1980, 1996–2001, 2002–2004)
