Global Live Events announced Tuesday the band
would no longer perform after fans, media and the singer's estate noted bassist
Gene Simmons has said in recent years that he was convinced Jackson molested
children. Jackson was acquitted of molestation charges after a 2005 trial in
California.
It is the latest stumble for a show that is endorsed by Jackson's

was announced last month. KISS' departure leaves Smokey Robinson, Christina
Aguilera and Cee Lo Green as the show's stars.
