According to the musician, the avatars will “improve,” and the band has invested “approximately US$200 million” in the technology.

According to information from BBC, Per SundinCEO of Pophousecommented how the avatars of Kiss should not be realistic: “We’ll figure it out after the tour. It’s a Kiss in the future? Is it a rock opera? Is it a musical? A story, an adventure?”
