Gene Simmons had a scary moment during KISS’ show last night (April 12) in Manaus, Brazil. The Demon fell ill, and the show was paused for several minutes before continuing.
Per Acritica.com, Simmons started to feel unwell shortly after the show kicked off. He eventually had to play his bass while seated, and then the show was paused while Simmons quickly recuperated.
The Demon, himself, took to Twitter to update fans following the incident. He wrote, “Hey everybody, thanks for the good wishes. I’m fine. Yesterday at Manaus Stadium in Brazil, experienced weakness because of dehydration. We stopped for about five minutes, I drank some water, and then all was well. Nothing serious. Tomorrow, Bogota Stadium. See you there!”

He added in a follow-up tweet, “Ok, kids. Not a big deal. Thanks for your kind wishes. Last night we played Amazon jungle Stadium/Brazil. Humidity and temperature were sky high. I was dehydrated and was forced to sit for a song. We got back on stage in 5 minutes & finished the show.”
