American music legends KISS will perform their last ever show in Australia this week.
And the band’s beloved frontman Paul Stanley, 71, took time to hang out with local music legend Jimmy Barnes, 67, ahead of their Sydney concert on Saturday.
Jimmy shared a photo of the couple posing at a popular nightlife spot on Facebook on Wednesday.
A smiling Paul put his arm around a grinning Jimmy during the fun night out.
The American singer looked suave in an all-black ensemble consisting of pants, a T-shirt and a jacket.

Meanwhile, Jimmy looked super fit in a black T-shirt and white jeans.
The Working Class Man hitmaker paid tribute to his American friend in the post, while teasing a new project from the KISS legend.
“It was great catching up for a quiet dinner with you, Paul Stanley,” Jimmy wrote his story.
“You’re such a gentleman. I enjoyed hearing about your SOUL music project. I hope Sydney turns it up for you on Saturday night.”

Led by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, the band surprised the sold-out MCG with a performance full of fireworks.
While many fans sang their praises, others were less impressed as they accused the musicians of “lip-syncing” and “mimicking” their songs.
Just before the band took to the stage for the big match, Stanley told Channel Seven: “This is exciting for us because football is new to us.”
“It’s brutal compared to what we’re used to. Hopefully we’ll be a good warm-up.”

The global superstar also showered some love Down Under, saying he always misses Australia when he goes and has considered buying a house in the country.
“From the first time we came to Australia in 1980, it was known as Kiss-teria. I looked at houses,” he said.
‘You have the most fantastic country here. Maybe it’s a big secret because people don’t realize this is the best way… This is God’s country.’
‘It doesn’t get any better than this. I’ll miss it, but I’ll make sure I come back. I’m already making plans to come back.’
