Gene Simmons: ‘I’ve Never Done Drugs So My Soul Is Intact’

This is not the first time that Simmons has spoken publicly about the fact that he has never done drugs or alcohol.

Kiss frontman and rock superstar Gene Simmons says he’s never done drugs, thus allowing him to enjoy a long and diverse career—first as a rock ’n’ roll star and later as the center of a reality show and a product empire.

Simmons, who is currently touring with Kiss, said during an interview with The Chicago Tribune that performing can be exhausting. Reporter Allison Steward asked him, “Have you ever come close to packing it in—you, personally?”
