War in Ukraine: Kiss frontman calls for cancellation of concerts in Russia

The frontman and their leader KissGene Simmons, called on all bands and artists to cancel concerts in Moscow in retaliation for invasion of Ukraine.

He spoke to at TMZ and clarified that the legendary band will cancel the show they had planned, stating that “we will not go… there is a more serious issue than doing a rock concert».

“The only possible positive could be if a band goes up there and makes political statements on stage, something I usually disagree with, but that is beyond politics. This it’s just crazy“, He then added. In fact, he added that “we faced the same problem with Botswana in his day apartheid. They offered us millions of dollars, but we said, “No, we can not go there, because if a band from the West goes there, it is as if it says that apartheid and racism and the lack of justice are right.” I said no. There were some bands that went and paid the price. “Their fans turned against them,” added the Kiss leader.

Also, when asked what his message would be to bands still appearing in Russia, Simmons said: “I would recommend that no one go there, just block it. Stop drinking Russian vodka, just stop».
