GENE SIMMONS To Promote Health Hope Zambia Charity During KISS' Upcoming Australian Tour

According to The West Australian, Perth businessman and philanthropist Brendan Clark has struck an unlikely friendship with one of the world’s most flamboyant rock stars — KISS frontman Gene Simmons.

The 30-year-old met Simmons in Zambia in 2012 and was surprised to find much more to the 65-year-old rocker than his over-the-top persona.

“We talk every day, at least by email,” Mr Clark said. “When in the United States recently we were together every day.”

Mr Clark said Simmons was probably a bigger businessman than rock star — an entrepreneur and a mentor.

In Zambia, Simmons became an ambassador for Mr Clark’s charity Health Hope Zambia after seeing its work reducing deaths from malnutrition.

When KISS come Down Under in October, Simmons will be at Mr Clark’s disposal to promote the charity and will be a guest at an event on October 4th, the day after KISS kick off their Australian tour at Perth Arena.

Mr Clark said Simmons told him he could use him every day of his 15 days in Australia to work for Health Hope Zambia.
