KISS Star Gene Simmons Has Been Hospitalized – Details

Gene Simmons, the legendary bassist of KISS, was hospitalized earlier this week after a sudden incident in Malibu, prompting concern from fans and a response from his family.

KISS musician Gene Simmons is currently recovering at home after being hospitalized on Tuesday, October 7, 2025.

His wife, Shannon Tweed, assured fans that he is on the road to recovery. She added that doctors changed his medications and insisted he drink more water, something he's not exactly a fan of.

His hospitalization followed an accident along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu at around 1 p.m. During the incident, Simmons' Lincoln Navigator crashed into a parked car.

Simmons' SUV careened through several lanes of traffic, and he ultimately passed out. While speaking to first responders, the 76-year-old musician admitted that he fainted and then hit the parked car as a result. This was confirmed by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

After the incident, Simmons left a voicemail message to NBC4 Investigates, insisting that he is doing fine.

The musician also took to X to update his fans on his situation. He thanked them for their well wishes, saying, "I'm completely fine. I had a slight fender bender. It happens. Especially to those of us who are horrible drivers. And that’s me. All is well."
