Back in April, KISS legend Gene Simmons returned to his homeland since leaving the country as a child more than 50 years ago. He commented on the visit via his website:
"Our trip to Israel was a life changing experience. My Father, who left us when I was seven years old in Israel... then remarried. He was married six times (!!!) that we know of. And, may have had other relationships. I met (for the first time) my half brother and sisters... and here they are, from left to right: Oegenia, Kobi, myself, Sharon and Drora (who I actually met in New York many years ago). My brother and sisters are charming, sweet and to be admired. I love them."
Footage of Simmons visiting his estranged father's grave during the visit is available below. A report courtesy of The Israel National News can be found here.
