Fans were looking forward to watch KISS on the big stage as part of their ongoing farewell tour, but unfortunately, they had to cancel a recent show because of Paul Stanley's health condition; what happened?
According to Loudwire, the group announced earlier this week that their show scheduled on November 21 was canceled due to "an unforseen illness in the band party."
They later confirmed that their other show in Toronto, which was supposed to be their last in Canada, had also been postponed and it's unsure if it's still going to be rescheduled.

In other updates, Gene Simmons said in an interview earlier this month that he is in favor of a new generation to take the name of KISS and continue their legacy to introduce them to younger audiences.
"I'm totally open to that idea. Why not pass the baton, pass the crown to four new, young people who are deserving?" he told Rolling Stone.
