Stockholm-based Pophouse Entertainment also bought the group’s brand, likeness and intellectual property. The sale marks the band’s retirement from live performances on their End of the Road World Tour. Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen have also sold their back catalogues for multi-million dollar figures. Both artists sold to big music houses for $500m (£395m) and $450m (£355m) respectively. Although details of the Kiss deal have not been revealed it is understood to be similar to that of the British band Genesis, but less than the back catalogue sale of Michael Jackson’s work ($600m/£474m). Bruce Springsteen sells his music rights for $500m
