November 11, 1997 12:00 AM ET

KISS will embark on a world tour next summer in support of the first album by the band's original members in more than a decade, due early next year on Mercury.

KISS' management says that if all goes well in the studio, the band will begin touring in late June/early July, playing mostly indoor dates, with some stadiums in key markets. KISS had the top-grossing North American tour in 1996, pulling in $50 million, according to Amusement Business.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
