‘If we had only done half the job you have done, we would be in a much better position here’.
He added of visiting Australia: ‘Even if I have to quarantine, you are well worth it.’
Paul earlier told The Daily Telegraph that if the current mandatory hotel quarantine is still in place in November, he is prepared to isolate when he arrives Down Under.
‘It’d be an honour to do whatever is called for. Not just because it’s the rules and the law, you do it out of respect,’ he said.

Paul also told The Project on Friday that the new tour is going to be absolutely explosive.
‘Technically, it is the most massive and most cutting-edge show we have ever done,’ he said.
‘We figure on a last go around we need to raise the bar for the fans who have been with us since the beginning, they get a chance to know why they have been with us.’
The glam rock legends will perform in Australia from November to December 2021, playing shows in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Townsville.

The farewell tour was originally scheduled for late 2019, but the band had to postpone the tour when Paul fell ill, with doctors advising the guitarist and singer to ‘rest’.
KISS will start the Australian leg of the End of the Road tour on November 14 at the RAC Arena in Perth.
They will then perform at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre (November 17), Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena (November 20 and 21), Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney (November 26), Brisbane Entertainment Centre (November 30) and the Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville (December 4).
