Gene Simmons is getting ready to rock out for one last time.
musician spoke with ET's Kevin Frazier in Las Vegas during a three-part interview at Simmons' home and the KISS World Museum at the Rio Hotel and Casino, where he dished on the band's world tour, which will mark their final time touring as a group -- and how at 72 years old, he still has the stamina to do it all.
"We're approaching 50 years of doing this, which is unbelievable because we never thought we'd last more than a few years," he added."The last thing that you want to do is be a guy that stays in the ring too long and gets his a** beat," the rock and roll legend shared. "Get out of the ring when you're a champion."
"We work hard at it," Simmons maintained."No drugs, no booze, no smoking. None of that stupid rock and roll stuff. I hike almost every single day with Shannon, we do three to five miles a day, and it's hard to keep this going."Being in shape is necessary for some of the stunts the band performs and the outrageous outfits they wear at every performance.
He continued,"We are the hardest working band out there and take pride in it. And not every band should be out there too long."
