KISS may have cancelled their Australian tour, but the legendary band intends on continuing on with the greatest show of their career, albeit down one member. The band still will play their highly publicised concert for great white sharks today, but Paul Stanley will be missing from the performance while recovering from the flu.
Adventure Bay Charters issued a statement that read:
“Due to band member Paul Stanley’s illness, KISS concert promoters One World Entertainment and TEG Live announced the tour was cancelled. For more information, please check the news from Port Lincoln Times. We are sorry to hear this news that many fans lost the opportunity to join KISS last road trip concert, and we wish the best for Paul Stanley and a speedy recovery.
“We are glad to announce that we will keep hosting KISS concert for the remaining band members, the shark trip will still go Monday, the Ocean will rock&roll! 8 lucky customers will jump on our shark warrior, using our unique underwater sub, enjoy a KISS live concert and Great White Sharks!”
Paul Stanley was quoted saying the following in regards to the matter of cancelled tour dates: “Words cannot begin to convey our massive disappointment in having to cancel our End Of The Road tour of your incredible country. Our connection to you is unparalleled and decades deep. We waited as long as we could and held out hope to the last minute that my situation would clear up and we would be able to march forward. Doctor’s orders ultimately have taken precedence and finally, we now find ourselves with no choice but to surrender, with heavy hearts, KISS.
The shark concert will take place today off the southern coast of Australia in the Indian Ocean. Eight fans are also going to enjoy the concert along with the sharks, boarding their vessels in Port Lincoln. As KISS play above water, the fans will have a chance to watch how the great white sharks react to the low-frequency sounds of the band’s performance.
