Kix Bids an Emotional Farewell at Their Final Show
The legendary rock band Kix brought their 45-plus-year career to an emotional close with a final concert at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. Vocalist Steve Whiteman had expressed a desire to exit the stage on a high note, saying, "I don't want to go out sucking — I want to go out being pretty good." Age had taken its toll, and they wanted to leave their fans with a memorable performance.
Kix's farewell show was indeed a memorable one. They delivered an epic 18-song set that delved deep into their extensive catalog, providing a time capsule of their career highlights. The performance paid homage to many of their albums, with a particular focus on their 1981 self-titled debut and the platinum-certified "Blow My Fuse" from 1988.
This special moment was marked by the presence of past and present Kix members. Drummer Jimmy Chalfant made a triumphant return after suffering a heart attack onstage in 2021. Additionally, guitarist Brad Divens, who played on their 1983 album "Cool Kids," and longtime guitarist Ronnie Younkins, who had left the lineup in late 2020 due to personal issues, joined the group onstage for several songs. Together, they closed the show with a powerful one-two punch of "Tear Down the Walls / Walkin' Away" and "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah."
In an emotional closing, Steve Whiteman expressed gratitude to the entire behind-the-scenes team and, most importantly, to the fans. He acknowledged the unwavering support of the audience throughout Kix's 45-year journey in the world of rock 'n' roll. He bid farewell to the devoted fans, expressing love and appreciation for their years of dedication.
As for the future of Kix, Whiteman hinted that it might not involve new material. While many bands continue to create music after retirement, he explained that there was little interest in new Kix material, leading him to explore a solo project in 2021. With his wife retiring, he expressed a desire to move on and enjoy other aspects of life, suggesting that a new Kix album might be unlikely.
Kix's final show was a poignant farewell, celebrating a remarkable career in rock music and leaving fans with cherished memories of their music legacy.
