Gene Simmons Is Going To Share A Stage With Ace Frehley For Charity

Gene Simmons will play alongside former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley again, for the first time in 16 years!

When the band broke up it looked as if they’d never reconcile, but relations between the estranged band members have been thawing for a while.

First Paul Stanley recorded a song with Ace last year.

Then in June, Gene helped out on a few tracks for Ace's solo album.

One of Gene and Paul's biggest gripes with Ace was his drug abuse, but he's reportedly been sober now for over a decade.

It's worth noting, Gene is NOT bringing Ace back into the KISS fold...not yet at least. Gene and Ace will share the stage at the 'Children Matter' Benefit Concert in St. Paul, Minnesota next weekend.

Gene's solo band is headlining, and other performers include Cheap Trick, and former Eagles guitarist Don Felder.

Gene hasn't commented on the reunion, but he is talking about a promotion where he's offering to hand-deliver a 10-CD 'vault' box set to your house.

You'll have to shell out $50,000 to make it happen, but who doesn’t have that kind of cash laying around?
