Gene Simmons, of KISS fame, was driving his SUV along Malibu’s Pacific Coast Highway when he reportedly lost consciousness.
Simmons is now recovering at home after being discharged, and he told NBC4 in Los Angeles, he is “doing fine”.
His wife, Shannon Tweed, told NBC4 Investigates that Gene passed out and his car “careened across several lanes of traffic” before hitting another vehicle. She also said doctors recently changed his medication, and he needs to drink more water as a result, but he isn’t a big H2O drinker.
The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department told the outlet that the “Rock and Roll All Nite” hitmaker’s Lincoln Navigator smashed into a parked car, when a witness called 911 and police officers and firefighters rushed to the scene.
According to TMZ, nobody was hurt in the accident, and Simmons is already said to have returned to work following the terrifying incident.
A rep for the star told PEOPLE, “Gene is fine and back to work already.”
Simmons’ crash comes just a month before KISS is due to play an “unmasked” show in Las Vegas.
The iconic rock band performed their last stage show at New York’s Madison Square Garden in 2023, but KISS is coming out of retirement to appear at the KISS Army Storms Vegas convention, which runs from November 14 to November 16.
