Gene Simmons,(KISS) has sleep apnea

Post by Joe50 » Tue Dec 21, 2010 6:44 am

Here is a link to the episode from his show, "Family Jewels".
Kinda funny and probably has no value for sleep apnea suffers but who knows.

Gene Simmons.....hmmmm....didn't he USED to be somebody?

So, is he REALLY an OSA patient, or does he just play one on TV?

The OSA patient died quietly in his sleep.
Unlike his passengers who died screaming as the car went over the cliff...

LMAO!! A little humor goes a long way and makes having OSA a little more tolerable.

Gene's net worth is 300 million so in my mind that would make him a somebody.

Thanks for the link. Gene Simmons was in the typical denial stage while the evidence presented to him was overwhelming.

It was obviously scripted to talk about his real life problem but it was a lot of fun. I also enjoyed the Ambien thing with Shannon who blaming everybody for messing up the kitchen while she was sleeping.

Read an interview where Gene stated that he and Paul Stanly had both grossed over a billion each in their lifetime. Very believable considering the dolls, concerts, albums, movies and TV shows. Oh yeah, comic books, Halloween outfits, coffins (yea, that's right), lunch boxes posters.... well, you know what I mean. Oh and don't forget the wine....
