NEW YORK (TND) — KISS plans to "rock and roll all nite and
party everyday" no more, as the band said it will perform its

Martin, a lifelong heavy smoker, was diagnosed with lung cancer
at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in September 1993. He was told
that he would require surgery to prolong his life, but he rejected it.
He retired from public life in early 1995 and died of acute respiratory failure resulting from emphysema at his Beverly Hills home on
Christmas Day, 1995.
