Well, he is a rockstar after all!
KISS star Gene Simmons is making headlines for a fan experience listed on his genesimmonsaxe website, where fans have the chance to be his ”personal assistant and band roadie for the day” for a cool $US12,495 – approximately $19,800.
The experience with the rocker, 75, includes having a meal with Simmons, getting a T-shirt and hat, getting to watch soundcheck and photos throughout the day ahead of one of his shows with his band, the Gene Simmons Band.

Another cool perk, if you’re willing to splash the cash, is that you can take a guest with you, and Simmons will introduce you on stage during the show.
But one fallback is that you have to purchase your own ticket for the show separately.
The experience is described as the “ultimate” experience.
