Gene Simmons is urging fans to persuade their girlfriends and wives to get tested for breast cancer after his partner of 26 years found a lump.
The Kiss star and girlfriend Shannon Tweed agreed to air segments from the health crisis on the fifth season of their reality TV show Gene Simmons Family Jewels - and the rocker insists he's deadly serious about getting the message of screening out there.
Appearing on late-night TV show Lopez Tonight! on Monday, the bassist and singer, said, "I'm going to count to eight... One in every eight women will get breast cancer. I urge you, the guys out there, to make sure your girlfriend goes to see a doctor today. If you catch it early she will live."
