KISS have extended their End Of The Road World Tour.
The rock legends have confirmed further dates in June and July, with new shows lined up in Denmark, Norway, Lithuania and the Czech Republic, as well as a stop in Johannesburg, South Africa. Tickets go on general sale at 10am local time on November 22.
The band have also been forced to cancel their entire Australian tour just days before it was due to begin due to vocalist Paul Stanley's ongoing bout of influenza. KISS confirmed the news with a statement via social media:
"Promoters One World Entertainment and TEG Live today announced that the KISS Australian tour, due to commence next Tuesday, has been cancelled due to illness.
"KISS and both promoters are absolutely gutted by the news and sincerely apologize to fans.
"Earlier this week it was announced that US doctors had advised Paul Stanley to rest due to a bad case of influenza, prompting the rescheduling of the tour’s first show in Perth to the end of the run and the cancellation of New Zealand.
"It was hoped the extra few days rest would allow Stanley the chance for a complete recovery so the tour could proceed as planned.
"However unfortunately this has not occurred. Stanley has an additional infection in his throat requiring complete vocal rest and medication for at least two weeks and possibly longer."
Paul Stanley added:
"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."
There's currently no news about whether the nine-date run will be rescheduled. Refunds are available from point of purchase.
