But you can see him perform many of the band\u2019s hits without makeup, fronting the Gene Simmons Band on Saturday at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;It feels great,&#8221; Simmons <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.desertsun.com\/story\/life\/entertainment\/music\/2026\/06\/03\/kiss-gene-simmons-busier-than-ever-age-76\/90283814007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:told The Desert Sun during a recent interview about touring now;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;told The Desert Sun during a recent interview about touring now&quot;}\" class=\"link \">told The Desert Sun during a recent interview about touring now<\/a>. &#8220;You may as well ask a beauty queen when she&#8217;s going down the runway with her jewels and stuff, and then later that night when they go to a club and let their hair down. It&#8217;s different. KISS was a spectacle, you want to make a big deal out of yourself, and it&#8217;s all big and powerful. Doing this, I love being on stage, my band &#8230; they&#8217;re just killers. They&#8217;ve played with everybody \u2014 Billy Idol, Slash (of Guns &#8216;N Roses) \u2014 and every so often I can yell out &#8216;In the key of D,&#8217; boom!
