Pophouse Entertainment Group has bought the rock band's catalog, brand name and intellectual property in a deal worth over $300 million, ABC News reports.
When Kiss played their last show in
December, they revealed digital avatars
of themselves, ABC News reports.
Pophouse partnered with
George Lucas' company, Industrial Light & Magic, to create the avatar technology.
The "ABBA Voyage" show in
London featured an entire performance
with the Swedish band's digital avatars.
ABC News reports that a biopic, documentary and "Kiss experience" are in the works, according to Pophouse CEO Per Sundin.
An avatar show is planned for the later part of 2027.
Gene Simmons said,
"I don't like the word acquisition.".
Collaboration is exactly what it’s
about.
It would be remiss in our
inferred fiduciary duty — see what
I just did there?
— to the thing
that we created to abandon it, Gene Simmons, to AP.
People might misunderstand and think,
‘OK, now Pophouse is doing that stuff
and we’re just in Beverly Hills twiddling
our thumbs.’ No, that’s not true.
, Gene Simmons, to AP.
We’re in the trenches with them.
We talk all the time.
We share ideas.
It’s a collaboration.
Paul (Stanley) and
I especially, with the band, we’ll stay
committed to this.

DNC Chair Jamie Harrison is
confident that Democrats will handle the
issue and "land this plane on our own.".
Joe Biden will be on the ballot in Ohio and
all 50 states, and Ohio Republicans agree.
But when the time has come for action,
they have failed to act every time, so
Democrats will land this plane on our own, Jamie Harrison, DNC chair, via statement.
Through a virtual roll call, we will ensure that
Republicans can't chip away at our democracy
through incompetence or partisan tricks and
that Ohioans can exercise their right to vote
for the presidential candidate of their choice, Jamie Harrison, DNC chair, via statement.
Mike DeWine, Republican governor
of Ohio, chimed in as well.
While I understand the Democratic National
Committee has just today proposed a
work-around to help get President Biden
on the Ohio ballot, it is prudent legislation
be passed to get this done. , Mike DeWine, Ohio governor, via statement.
As I previously said, we do not want to leave
something so basic as having the sitting
President of the United States on the ballot
to others when this can-and should-be done
legislatively. It's the right thing to do. , Mike DeWine, Ohio governor, via statement.
For these reasons, it is important that
a bill or multiple bills that accomplish
these common-sense measures come
to my desk right away this week.
It's the right thing to do, Mike DeWine, Ohio governor, via statement

This Day in History: , 'Star Wars' Opens.
May 25, 1977.
The first installment of
George Lucas' saga "in a galaxy
far, far away," premiered in the
U.S. on Memorial Day weekend.
Cinema would be forever
marked by the premiere,
described as an "earthquake"
by Princess Leia star, Carrie Fisher.
Months before the
release, Lucas and
20th Century Fox co-ordinated
an extensive marketing push.
The anticipation for the film
led to long lines, sold out
showings and, ultimately, a
pop culture phenomenon.
Actors Mark Hamill,
Harrison Ford and Carrie
Fisher became overnight
stars and fan obsessions.
Now under the helm of Disney,
new 'Star Wars' films and streaming
shows are scheduled well into the 2020s
