KISS will get their flowers at the upcoming Kennedy Center Honors … and, the band members couldn’t be more grateful for the accolade.
We spoke to Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley from the iconic band … and, they all expressed gratitude after being bestowed with the institution’s highest honor by President Donald Trump.
Simmons tells TMZ … “KISS is the embodiment of the American dream. We are deeply honored to receive the Kennedy Center Honor.”
Stanley adds, “From our earliest days, KISS has embodied the American ideal that all things are possible and that hard work pays off. The prestige of the Kennedy Center Honors cannot be overstated and I accept this on behalf of the long legacy of KISS and all of the band members who helped create our iconic band.”
Frehley ruminated on his humble beginnings in the Bronx … before calling the nomination “a dream come true that I never thought would materialize.” He adds that he’s honored and grateful to be in the superb company of his fellow honorees which include Sylvester Stallone, George Strait, Gloria Gaynor and Michael Crawford.
We’ve reached out to Peter Criss … so far, no word back.
