According to Rolling Stone, the widow of KISS’ guitar tech Francis Stueber has filed a lawsuit against the band following accusations of negligence and wrongful death related to his COVID-related death in 2021. Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Doc McGhee, Live Nation, and Marriott International have all been named as defendants in the case.
The following was said in the suit:
“As a direct and proximate result of the dangerous condition created by Defendants, Decedent suffered fatal injuries and Plaintiffs suffered damages, including, but not limited to funeral and burial expenses, the permanent deprivation of the love companionship, affection solace, society, comfort, assistance, services and financial contributions, and moral support of Decedent in an amount according to proof at trial.”
“The failure to enforce or have adequate Covid-19 policies or procedures caused a Covid-19 outbreak amongst band members and tour personnel.”
“Defendants, and each of them, whether through acts and/or omission to act, breached their duty to Plaintiffs by their negligent production, operation, inspection, supervision, management and control over The End of the Road Tour that ultimately resulted in the death of Decedent.”
This news follows previous accusations of lax COVID protocols, which the band denied.
