Gene Simmons officiated a fellow rock star’s wedding—days after he was involved in a car accident. On Oct. 12, the Kiss legend, 76, served as the officiant for the nuptials of Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante and singer Carla Harvey. The ceremony took place at The Secret Garden in Las Vegas, People magazine reported.
In video footage from the wedding posted by radio host Eddie Trunk, Simmons was seen holding a microphone as the couple exchanged rings.
“By the powers vested in me by the great state of Nevada, and the gods and rock and roll of course, I now pronounce you man and wife,” Simmons said.
The wedding guest list included members of KISS, Mötley Crüe, and Nickelback, and the bride walked down the aisle to the Guns ‘N’ Roses classic “November Rain.” The reception featured an Elvis impersonator, showgirls, and a “jam session” with the groom and some of the rock star guests, People reported.
Benante and Harvey gave Simmons a post-wedding shout-out on Instagram, captioning a series of photos from the day, including one of the Kiss rocker signing their marriage license, with, “Went to Las Vegas and threw a party! A demon officiated and things got all shook up ????? with Elvis.”
The newlyweds were lucky that Simmons was able to fulfill his commitment as their wedding officiant. Just five days earlier, the rock legend was involved in a car crash off Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. According to E! News, Simmons hit a parked car with his SUV after passing out while driving. The rock bassist was briefly hospitalized, but later assured fans he was fine.
“Thanks, everybody, for the kind wishes,” Simmons posted to X on Oct. 8. “I’m completely fine. I had a slight fender bender. It happens. Especially to those of us were horrible drivers. And that’s me. All is well.”
