Rock star KISS Gene Simmons was involved in a car accident in early October 2025 and was hospitalized as a result of the incident. The accident occurred in Malibu, California, and fans of the musician «I Was Made for Lovin' You» were concerned about his health, especially considering that he suffers from a certain heart condition.
Below is an update on Simmons' condition after the car accident, as well as details about the heart condition he suffers from.
Simmons was involved in a car accident on October 7, 2025 on the Pacific coast in Malibu, California, shortly before 1:00 p.m. local time. The KISS rocker crashed into a parked car, and a witness called for an ambulance to the scene.
The artist «Rock and Roll All Nite» was hospitalized after the accident.
Simmons' wife, Shannon Tweed, told NBC4 Los Angeles that her husband «blacked out» across several lanes during the accident.
Yes, according to Simmons himself, he either fainted or lost consciousness before colliding with the parked car, he told authorities, according to NBC4 Los Angeles. At the time of publication, it is unclear what caused him to faint in the car.
Simmons suffers from atrial fibrillation (AFib), a heart condition that causes irregular heartbeats (arrhythmia) or rapid heartbeats, which can lead to the formation of blood clots in the heart, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Earlier, Simmons discussed his health condition during an interview in March 2016 on The Doctors.
«I had never heard of the term AFib, but about 10 years ago we were on tour somewhere, and on stage the temperature rises to about a hundred degrees because of all the stage lights», - explained the musician. «I started feeling dizzy, sweating, and short of breath. Then I called the doctor, and he came and said, 'Okay, here’s what’s happening. There’s a condition called AFib,' and he listed everything. It was a lot to take in».
At the time of publication, Simmons is recovering at home after being hospitalized, according to NBC4
