KISS singer Paul Stanley weighs in on Ace Frehley, Gene Simmons feud. He also discusses his new book, titled "Backstage Pass" as well as the band’s "End of the Road" tour.

"Ok, kids. Not a big deal. Thanks for your kind wishes. Last night we played Amazon jungle Stadium/Brazil. Humidity and temperature were sky high," Simmons reassured his fans on Twitter.

"I was dehydrated and was forced to sit for a song. We got back on stage in 5 minutes & finished the show."
