Gene Simmons Says Sorry For Suicide Rant

Gene Simmons
Founder and Publisher. Based in Brisbane.
Howard launched 'Scene Magazine' in 1993. Paul Keating was Prime Minister. Whitney, Janet and Mariah all had Aussie #1s and Mark Zuckerberg was 9. Over 30 years he's overseen the growth of scenestr to become Australia's largest – and only national – street press while forging a digital-first imperative in the mid-naughties. Social media remains a complete mystery to him. He's been spotted at raves, hip hop concerts, Motown revivals, judged battle of the bands, shot video for opening night and national awards red carpet, partnered with music industry showcases, comedy festivals and myriad other cultural productions ... and he interviewed Eddie Izzard. He likes Star Trek and a good Oxford comma — way too much fun at parties.

Gene Simmons has apologised for his recent comments regarding depression and suicide.


In a statement on the KISS Facebook page, the rocker acknowledged that in hindsight his recent comments were made without regard to those "who truly suffer the struggles of depression", perhaps leaving the door open for him to stand by any case he was making for those whom he suggested were attention seekers.

Predictably, reaction to the statement has been mixed, both froms fans and people stopping by to voice their opinion.
