Simmons shared the news during his current US tour, revealing that he’ll be joined by Frehley for five rescheduled Australian shows.
“He’s going to be using my back-up band and we’re just going to have a great time,” said Simmons. “He’ll play ‘Ozone’ and lots of other crazy stuff.”
The KISS guitarist also mentioned his recent reunions with other bandmates including Peter Criss and Vinnie Vincent, but noted with a laugh that he hasn’t convinced Paul Stanley just yet.
