Local fans of American glam rock legends KISS will gather at The Limelight this week, a year after the sudden passing of Fabio Marchetti, who played Gene Simmons in Belfast-based KISS tribute act Hotter Than Hell.
The 50-year-old was loved by many for taking on the role of the iconic bassist in Hotter Than Hell. The band, formed by Marty McStravick, performed at The Limelight on October 29 last year. Sadly a month later the 50-year-old father-of-three, originally from Italy, died.
Marty, who performs as KISS lead singer Paul Stanley in Hotter Than Hell, says the November 11 show in Belfast will be "particularly tough" on him and the band. He added: “It’s hard to believe a year has passed since we last performed in Belfast. It’s not going to be easy. But so many happy memories with Fabio will get us through what I know will be a particularly tough night for us.
