Gene Simmons

Simmons, now 71, was one of the founding members of KISS with its trademark make-up, serving as bassist and co-lead vocalist. The band released its first album in 1974 and continues to perform. The entire Simmons-Tweed family—Gene, Shannon and their two children, Nick and Sophie—starred in the TV reality show “Gene Simmons Family Jewels,” which ran for seven seasons, 2006-12, on A&E.
