Three nights ago, on 2 December 2023, KISS finished. Madison Square Garden, twenty thousand people, two and a quarter hours of pyro and blood and platform boots, and then the four men in the make-up took their bow and walked off for the last time. Except they didn’t walk off. After the last chord of “Rock and Roll All Nite”, the screens read A NEW KISS ERA STARTS NOW, and four digital avatars — younger, taller, smooth-faced, laser-eyed — strode on to finish the encore. The band that had just retired was already back, rebuilt in polygons by Industrial Light & Magic and the Swedish company that runs the ABBA hologram show. The corpse was still warm and the séance had already started.
