Gene Simmons, the iconic frontman of KISS, found himself in a precarious situation recently when he crashed his SUV into a parked truck in Malibu. Reports say he fainted at the wheel, drifting across traffic before the unfortunate impact. Fortunately, the legendary rock star emerged without a scratch, while the truck didn’t take it so well—bend and crumpled hood, anyone? It seems like the only thing that went right that day was his ability to walk away.
Shannon Simmons, Gene’s wife, shared that dehydration from a new medication likely caused her husband’s fainting spell. That detail will surely have every rock star’s health routine getting a second look—who knew hydration could be so rock ‘n’ roll? As a result, she’s thinking it might be easier if Gene kicks the driving habit altogether. After all, having a rock star at the wheel is a risk that could go from “hot cross buns” to “hot crash burns” in seconds.
This near-miss gives everyone a moment to reflect. Sure, driving is a habit we all partake in daily, but how often do we think about our health while behind the wheel? So, do you think celebrities like Gene should just stop driving altogether, or should they have a personal driver? Share your thoughts below and let’s see what everyone thinks!
