Gene Simmons is a hard rock bass guitarist and vocalist – best known as ‘The Demon‘. His blood spitting, fire breathing and tongue wagging persona are some of his trademark moves. He co-founded the hard rock band Kiss in the early 1970’s.
Simmons currently lives in Beverly Hills, California with his longtime partner and former Playboy Playmate Shannon Tweed. They have two children: a son, Nicholas, 19, and a daughter, Sophie, 15.
In 2005, Simmons was sued by a former lover, Georgeann Walsh Ward, who alleged that she had been “defamed” in the VH1 documentary When Kiss Ruled the World. She claims that she was portrayed as an unchaste woman when in fact she was in a committed relationship with Simmons. Really? This is just one of the many stunts of the flagrantly promiscuous musician.
