SYMPHONY ORHCESTRA MUSICIANS COULDN'T STAND THE SOUNDS OF KISS

Some of the members almost started to cry. Others called in sick. Several of the members of The Symphony Orchestera Of Malmö wanted the project to be cancelled. This happened when the symphony orchestra did some shows with the cover band Dressed To Thrill.
The concerts were a big success for the audience but it became a work related problem. It was supposed to be a meeting between two musical cultures.
 - It was very loud and above all a difficult sound environment, says Lars Wallén, chairman of the union.

It was through her that I too found that same passion. She lived long enough to see, enjoy and love an extended family that included her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She found numerous ways to contribute to her community and was appreciated and loved by those who knew her. My mom was the matriarch of our family and words cannot express our loss."

With KISS on tour and with my other business commitments, we have decided to draw the final curtain on our show ‘Gene Simmons Family Jewels.’  

It has been a wonderful life-altering experience for our family and after seven successful seasons, we feel it’s time to move on.

A big thank you to A&E for allowing us to tell our story and a big thank you to our excellent producers Leslie Greif, Adam Freeman, and Adam Reed at Thinkfactory Media.

This is not the end of our story, it’s the beginning of a new chapter.

With love – Gene, Shannon, Sophie, and Nick.
