Gene Simmons, the iconic rockstar from KISS, was hospitalized in Malibu after fainting while driving, resulting in a car crash. The incident occurred on the Pacific Coast Highway when the 76-year-old crashed his Lincoln Navigator into a parked car due to passing out behind the wheel. According to reports, Simmons has been discharged from the hospital and is currently recovering at home, as confirmed by his wife Shannon Tweed, who assured the public that he is doing well.
Shannon mentioned that during the accident, Simmons’ vehicle swerved across multiple lanes of traffic. She revealed that the rockstar’s doctor had recently altered his medication, advising him to increase his water intake, a habit Simmons reportedly dislikes. This incident echoes a previous health scare in Brazil two years ago when Simmons experienced dehydration during a KISS concert, necessitating a brief pause in the performance.
Having retired from KISS in 2023, Gene Simmons has been touring with his own band. As a founding member of the renowned group, he played bass and shared vocal duties for five decades alongside Paul Stanley, with whom he is set to perform unmasked in Las Vegas soon. KISS, known for their distinctive black and white face paint, underwent lineup changes over the years, leaving only Gene and Paul from the original members.
