Gene Simmons has posted this comment on his Whosay page:

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.
