According to Winnipeg Free Press, Winnipeg mayor Sam Katz has chosen to give KISS frontman and reality-TV star Gene Simmons a key to the city.
"Gene has spent his life and career overcoming challenges and creating success in business and family by remaining true to his roots and values," the mayor's office said in a statement about Simmons, the 61-year-old singer/bassist and star of Gene Simmons: Family Jewels.
There are similarities between Katz and Simmons, who were both born in Israel to Holocaust survivors before their families moved to North America as infants. Simmons was born in the northern city of Haifa, while Katz was born in the town of Rehovot, south of Tel Aviv.
