KISS Announce Farewell Tour Beginning March 11th
Alive IV To Be Released March 28th

New York, NY -- Legendary rock band KISS has announced today that they will hit the road for the last time beginning March 11th in Phoenix, AZ. The "Farewell Tour" will be the final opportunity to see the four original KISS members – Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss – together on stage. KISS’ 1996-97 worldwide Reunion tour featured the band back together and back in makeup and was the highest grossing tour of that year.

In addition to the "Farewell Tour", KISS will release Alive IV on March 28th (Mercury/Island Def Jam). Alive IV was recorded on New Year’s Eve 2000 at Vancouver’s BC Place Concert Bowl. The album contains such classics as "Rock and Roll All Night", "Shout It Out Loud", "Love Gun" and "Beth".

KISS has sold over 75 million albums in their 27 year career and are second only to the Beatles in the number of Gold albums they have been awarded.
