On 10. May 1976, Kiss did photo sessions at different locations in London. Photos were taken at Heathrow Airport, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Bridge and the London streets. This was the start of the European “The Spirit of ’76/Destroyer” tour, and although they had revealed the new “Destroyer” costumes as early as 13. January 1976, they used the old “Alive!” costumes – probably because the full “Destroyer” stage show wouldn’t have been able to squeeze into the smaller European venues. (Photo by Barry Levine.)
Gene Simmons:
“In 1976 Kiss went over to Europe for a major tour. We arrived at Heathrow Airport in London and came off the plane in full makeup. The press was all over us, and we drove around to all the sights and had pictures taken for the magazines. I was in awe, because it was England, the home of the Beatles. It was like a pilgrimage to Mecca.”
