I strongly believe that the HOF induction has been planned out by Kiss and the people at the RNRHOF for a few years now.
I believe Kiss was actually voted IN by the powers that be YEARS AGO but opted to ride the small wave that they were on UNTIL they needed a boost.
The 40th Anniversary is simply not enough of a boost for ticket sales being that Kiss has been a constant touring act.
This opens the door for all members past and present to share the stage. I believe that Steve Coronel will be involved as well. I have noticed little hints from him on Facebook for quite some time now.
This next tour will include many people from Kiss' past.
