ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — It won't be all night, but former members of Kiss might get the chance to rock 'n' roll with the band one last time.
Kiss frontman Paul Stanley says the band's upcoming farewell tour could include former members. Stanley tells The Associated Press he learned long ago never to say never, adding the tour is meant to celebrate the band's entire legacy.
The living ex-members of Kiss are guitarists Ace Frehley, Vinnie Vincent and Bruce Kulick, and drummer Peter Criss.
Founded in 1973, Kiss did its first farewell tour in 2000, but decided to keep going afterward.
Its current lineup consists of Stanley, Gene Simmons, drummer Eric Singer and guitarist Tommy Thayer. Dates for the multi-year “End of the Road” world tour, to start next year, will be announced at a later date.

LOS ANGELES — Fleetwood Mac disputes allegations in a lawsuit filed by Lindsey Buckingham for kicking him off the band's new tour.
In a statement, band spokesman Kristen Foster says, “Fleetwood Mac looks forward to their day in court.”
In the suit, the guitarist and songwriter is seeking his share of tour income because he says he still wants and is able to perform.
The suit names band mates Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie and John McVie.
Buckingham claims he was told five days after the group appeared at Radio City Music Hall in January that the band would tour without him. He says he would have been paid at least $12 million for his share of the tour proceeds.
The tour began Oct. 3, with Mike Campbell and Neil Finn replacing Buckingham.
