KISS fronter Gene Simmons visited a fan, 17-year-old Dilan Kohn, at the Children's Hospital of Nevada, granting the KISS superfan his dying wish of meeting his idol. Kohn died days after the visit, but not before getting a bag of KISS swag and meeting his hero.
"Mr. Simmons had not only been Dilan's idol, but also his inspiration growing up," reads a Facebook post from the hospital.
"Mr. Simmons was sent an email request last Thursday afternoon and flew into Vegas the next morning. He showed up with a big bag full of signed memorabilia just for Dilan."
"The two hung out, shared stories and laughed together for well over an hour while staff looked on with tears in their eyes. Thank you Mr. Simmons for making this wish come true just in time."
The hospital also posted pics of the smiling pair on their Facebook page.
