Kiss: 5 things to know about legendary rock band’s Huntsville history

Makeup-slathered, platform-booted, pyro-lit rock band Kiss finished their farewell tour on December 2 at Madison Square Garden. The concert occurred more than 22 years after the final show of their previous farewell tour, April 13, 2001 at Australia’s Carra Stadium.
