Shoulder surgery has prevented Paul Stanley from performing an intimate show with KISS.
Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss donned their classic stage make-up and costumes to play a four-song set on Friday to benefit multiple sclerosis research. KISS was the headlining act at the 23rd annual Race to Erase MS fund-raising gala held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Former American Idol judge Randy Jackson introduced the band and explained Stanley’s absence. Jackson said the lead singer would be recovered in time to tour with KISS this summer.
Other performers at the fund-raising dinner included Eric Benet, David Foster and The Voice winner Jordan Smith. The event raised more than $250,000 (Dh918,225) toward finding a cure for the nervous system disorder.
