American music legends KISS are set to play their last ever show in Australia this week.
And the band’s much-loved front man Paul Stanley, 71, took time to hang out with local music legend Jimmy Barnes, 67, ahead of their Sydney concert on Saturday.
Taking to Facebook on Wednesday, Jimmy shared a picture of the pair posing at a popular night spot.
A smiling Paul wrapped his arm around a grinning Jimmy during the fun night out.
The American singer looked suave in an all black ensemble consisting of slacks, a T-shirt and jacket.

Meanwhile, Jimmy looked super fit in a black T-shirt and white jeans.
The Working Class Man hitmaker paid tribute to his American pal in the post, as he teased a new project from the KISS legend.
‘It was great to catch up for a quiet dinner with you Paul Stanley,’ Jimmy captioned his story.
‘You’re such a gentleman. Loved hearing about your SOUL music project. Hope Sydney turns it up for you on Saturday night.’

Led by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, the band wowed the sold-out MCG with a performance filled with pyrotechnics.
While many fans sung their praises, others were less than impressed as they accused the musicians of ‘lip syncing’ and ‘miming’ their songs.
Just moments before the band hit the stage before the big game, Stanley told Channel Seven: ‘This is exciting for us because we are new to football.’
‘It’s brutal compared to what we are used to. Hopefully we are a good warm up.’

The worldwide superstar also showered some love on Down Under, saying he always misses Australia when he leaves and has considered buying a house in the country.
‘From the first time we came to Australia in 1980 and it was known as Kiss-teria. I looked at houses,’ he said.
‘You have the most amazing country here. Perhaps it’s a great secret because people don’t realise that this is in the best way… This is God’s country.’
‘It doesn’t get any better than this. I will miss it but I will make sure I come back. I’m already making plans to be back.’
