KISS have announced their comeback as digital avatars.
The 'Rock and Roll All Nite' glam rockers played their final ever gig over the weekend as their 'End of the Road' farewell tour concluded at New York City's Madison Square Garden, but founding members Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons have big plans to keep the show on the road.
The pair have teamed up with ILM - who are the effects team behind ABBA's Voyage show - to create digital avatars of the face painted stars.
Paul told fans at the show: "The end of the road is the beginning of another road. We're not going anywhere.
"You'll see us in all different things all the time. We'll see you in your dreams."
It's thought the first avatar show could take place in Las Vegas, where the group have their own museum.
The latest development comes as the band have spent their career exploring all avenues, with merchandise and spin-offs including coffins and cruises, with a biopic and cartoon series also in the pipeline.
Per Sundin - the CEO of production team Pophouse Entertainment - has suggested the group will keep on going for "eternity", with the possibility of "a concert in three cities in the same night" all across the globe.
In a statement, Paul continued: "The band will never stop because we don't own the band.
"The fans own the band. The world owns the band. We've spent 50 years building it to this point.
"And by working with ILM and working with Pophouse, we're all sharing this vision of taking KISS to a completely different level beyond being just a music band.
"And we've always thought of ourselves as more than just a music band."
Paul insisted while the band has an "amazing" legacy, he doesn't think they've done "enough".
He added: "What we've accomplished has been amazing, but it's not enough. The band deserves to live on because the band is bigger than we are.
"It's exciting for us to go the next step and see KISS immortalised."
