Cloudy with a chance of hard rock. Watch Kiss star Gene Simmons take a stint as a weatherman on Los Angeles TV station

Kiss star Gene Simmons gave residents of Los Angeles a weather update like no other when he appeared as a surprise guest on a local TV station.

Simmons, 75, joined the team at Fox 11 Los Angeles this week to present the evening weather report alongside regular meteorologist Adam Krueger.

Watch the segment below.

Krueger slipped references to Kiss lyrics into his report, particularly from the song Rock And Roll All Nite as he said: “There’s been a lot of rain lately, and the rain you drive us wild, we’ll drive you crazy talking about this rain.”

Simmons replied: “Hey, I wrote that. I like that.”

The bass guitarist has been busy with his solo career since Kiss called it a day in 2023.

And recently he announced he was offering fans the chance to be a roadie on his upcoming solo tour – with the experience costing $12,495.

The ‘Ultimate Gene Simmons Experience’ will allow one fan to join Simmons’ road crew for one date on the tour.

As well as helping the band set up for that night’s show, the package also includes sharing a meal with Simmons, being introduced by him on stage, and a signed bass guitar used in Kiss rehearsals.
