Gene Simmons will perform at the Michael Jackson tribute concert, even though he’s publicly called Jackson a pedophile.

In 2010, the KISS bassist was quoted as saying, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. There’s no question in my mind he molested those kids. Not a doubt.”

Simmons continued, “The only sexual references ever made about Michael Jackson that were made by anyone, anywhere around the world, have always been made by kids, and specifically males usually 10 to 14 years of age; never females, that age or older, and never grown men.”

This morning, however, promoters confirmed that KISS has signed on to perform at ”Michael Forever – The Tribute Concert,” set to take place in Wales on October 8.

    This Tribute concert started off on the wrong foot with a very convoluted ticket pricing… and it’s getting weirder by the minute. This is another Tribute that’s taking a shot at capitalizing on Michael Jackson’ s death without any shame. The trial is still going on, and as a diehard fan I’d say Justice before profits. What’s the matter with the Jackson Family? They have become a runaway train, how can we trust them at this point? Even a tick stop feeding off you when you’re dead! Joe Jackson has recently teamed up with a professional crook Julian Rouas to exploit Michael’ s image with a new line of cheesy perfumes. Please Read: http://jacksontributefragrances.blogspot.com

    agreed, can’t they let this man rest in peace. i’ve lost all respect for the jackson family who are involved in this and it makes me sick they are still trying to make money off of MJ. Joe has been riding off of MJ coat tails for years along with the rest of his family and I guess they have no shame to do the same in death. It makes me even sicker that the people who contributed to his horrible up bringing and mental issues are those who benefits the most from his pain. don’t worry though God don’t like ugly and soon Joe and any one else who sought out to destroy MJ will have to answer to Him.

    I am STUNNED! Gene Simmons, the worm, for God’s sake!!!! What THE HELL is going on witih this “family”???!!! I wouldn’t go to this concert if THEY paid ME and I lived right across the street!! What a disgrace to Michael’s memory. They are either completely greedy or completely desparate for any slimy act to show up and, frankly, I don’t know which is worse! God love you, Michael. I’m glad you’re not here to see this…

    The Jackson family have always been lunatics! Led by nutbar Joe and a close second by “just visiting this planet” LaToya. La Toya is shamelessly getting in front of every camera so she can draw attention to herself. How dear Michael survived them at all and kept his talent alive is a huge testimony to his spirit. There was a good reason he left the care of his children to Katherine, and that he seemed to be closest to Janet. They are the most sane of the lot. It’s so sad that his Mom, at her age has to try and wade through this mess. Gene Simmons is a creep and should not be allowed to participate in this concert, at all. Michael was a gentle spirit, who had a deep love and respect for children. His only crime was that Michael did not understand how people like Simmons would perceive him. They could never begin to comprehend Michael’s uniqueness or his sincerity, so they assumed his motivations had to be sinister.

    Gene Simmons probably would have been the one to molest kids, that’s why he blamed Michael Jackson. Just because he loved kids doesn’t mean that he molested them. If he so believed what he said back in 2010, then why is he performing at Michael’s concert. This man is two-faced and a phoney liar. Michael was acquitted of all that because people were scamming for his money.

    there will never ever be another performer like Micheal he was a once in a lifetime performer. Micheal was just another one of Gods many gifts to us that we abused

  • WhoCares?

    This guy is a an idiot no doubt. Had I been in the wales concert, I would have booed him to death. Everyone knows, from experts to journalists to pedo specialists that MJ ws framed for extortion and he never molested kids. IT’S PROVEN. Go and research, you’ll come to know yourself.
