Former KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent faced backlash from fans after increasing the membership fee for his ‘Euphoria’ Facebook group to $200.
A person on X posted the email that Vincent sent them, which read: “From Vinnie Vincent. Hey guys. Beginning February 1, 2024, ‘Euphoria’ is changing to a paid membership site. $200 annual fee. It is a necessity to keep out the riff-raff and to ensure the safety and integrity of the fan core of this private club.”
“There have been several thousand people admitted in the last 3 months, and I expect a large number of trolls are lurking. They are in the process of being eliminated. Sorry, but it must be this way. I hope you understand. Anyone who wishes to stay can make payment at anytime up to February 1. Thank you all.”
Fans expressed surprise and disappointment at Vinnie‘s decision, with some finding it difficult to defend him and others criticizing the musician.
One user commented on the original post, writing: “From Vinnie Vincent. It’s not April Fools yet, right?”
Another one added: “What a waste of talent and breathable air! Got to love Vinnie!”
