KISS got a mention in The Sun yesterday, apparently they were spied on by the FBI, presumably in the 70's.

"THE FBI asked cops to report "civil unrest or attacks on police" at concerts by the notoriously flamboyant rock band.
A memo ahead of a gig in Frankfurt warned how such incidents had occurred "during previous US appearance of group, one specifically in Texas".

MUSIC legend Gene Simmons had a surprise on his trip 'home' to Israel.

The Kiss frontman met a brother and three sisters whom he didn't know about. The Kiss star, born Chaim Witz, emigrated to America with his Holocaust survivor mother Flora at the age of eight after his parents divorced - and he had never returned until now. The 61-year-old and his partner, former Playboy model Shannon Tweed, are in Israel as part of his reality TV show Gene Simmons' Family Jewels.

On Monday, Simmons tweeted: "In Israel, land of my birth. Very inspiring. Bethlehem. Nazareth. Galilee, Jerusalem. Home to the religions - Judaism, Christianity & Islam.

"Never knew I had a brother and three sisters. Kobi, Sharon, Eugenia and Drora. We met. We reconnected. We loved each other.
"My father left when I was 7. Was married 6x (six times). No one knows where he was born, or how many children he had. He's always been a mystery to me."
