Kiss manager confirms reality show plans

Kiss manager Doc McGhee has confirmed plans to find four replacement members through a reality show, saying talks are close, though the timing is unclear.

As you'll remember, there's been talk of Kiss doing a reality show to find replacements for each of the band's members, so that the group can continue on once the current members retire. Gene Simmons, as previously reported, told one reporter that it was a done deal, a statement almost immediately refuted by his colleague Paul Stanley, who said that nothing was confirmed, but implied that talks were taking place regarding the matter.

Now their manager, Doc McGhee, has confirmed that there are indeed plans to keep the band going with a new line up, though again, implies that it's all still at the 'in talks' stage. In a new TV documentary about the band he says: "I believe that Kiss can go on forever. I believe that there is a way - and we are talking to people and we're pretty close to getting it done - about finding the four new members of KISS."

It's not exactly clear when the new band members would take over.
