“Deliver Me from Nowhere.”After filming wrapped on the movie — starring Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen — the Boss’ props came in “the most gorgeous texts I’ve ever had in my life,” Graham said on Edith Bowman’s “Soundtracking” podcast.“I’m racing to get to the airport, and I got this text, and it was so beautiful,” he shared. “It just said: ‘Better than any award that I could ever receive in my life.’“He’s an icon. He’s a hero.

Gene Simmons — and his face-painted band Kiss — then the rocker stands by charging $12,495 to be his personal assistant and band roadie for a day.That’s the cost of “The Ultimate Gene Simmons Experience” — a pricey package that is being offered to one fan per show on his solo tour, which kicks off in May after he postponed multiple April dates until 2026.Simmons, 75, is giving fans a chance to roll with him and his namesake band for the day, from planning the show-day schedule and loading into the venue to sitting in on soundcheck and hanging out backstage.For the extravagant sum, you’ll also get to have a meal with Simmons and rock with him on the stage while getting all sorts of memorabilia from your day on the job.“When I was a kid and went to see shows, I was always curious, ‘What’s it like when they’re in a hotel? What’s it like when the stage is set up? What’s it like being onstage when they’re performing and seeing the audience from the stage?’ ” Simmons exclusively told The Post.“I decided, ‘You know what, nobody’s ever done it. Why not open the idea to be my personal roadie for the day?’ ”For Simmons, it’s a dream experience that is worth it for the most diehard Kiss Army members — no matter what the price tag.

Kiss suited up to shoot the iconic cover of the band’s 1975 album “Dressed To Kill” on the southwest corner of 23rd Street and Eighth Avenue in Manhattan, there were no stylists or tailors involved.“I did not own a suit or a tie, so I had to borrow our manager at the time Bill Aucoin’s suit,” Kiss co-frontman Gene Simmons, 75, exclusively told The Post.“He was a much smaller man … So I put on his suit and nothing fits. If you look at the album cover, the sleeves were short, and the pants didn’t go all the way down.”Plus, Simmons had to finagle his footwear from one of his bandmates.“I didn’t have dress shoes,” he said, “so [Kiss guitarist] Ace Frehley had a pair of white clogs that he used to walk around with, and for no reason at all, I put on the clogs that are on the cover.”It all made for a classic album cover in rock history that is revisited on a new audio walking tour of New York spots that shaped Kiss and the group’s third LP, which inspired generations to “Rock and Roll All Nite” after it was released 50 years ago, on March 19, 1975.Along with Simmons and his Kiss co-frontman, Paul Stanley, photographer Bob Gruen — who shot the cover of “Dressed To Kill” — shares his makeup-covered memories in the 60-minute tour that takes you from 23rd and Eighth to Greenwich Village’s legendary Electric Lady Studios, where the LP was recorded.Gruen was shooting Kiss for a Creem magazine story — in which his photos would be used in a comic-book treatment on the band — and ended up taking the album cover pic.“It was just a whim.

TMZ.Morrison, 50, “started yelling and cursing at the venue’s general manager” over an event he “started planning with the venue on Friday,” cops said in the report.At one point during the confrontation, witnesses told police they saw the “Return of the Mack” singer allegedly shove the manager, who did not fight back after being pushed.A witness quickly stepped in and separated the men before things escalated further, police said.

Lisa Lisa portrayed her own mother in her recent Lifetime biopic “Can You Feel the Beat: The Lisa Lisa Story.”But she almost made an even splashier acting turn as Eddie Murphy’s love interest — who also just so happened to be named Lisa — in the 1988 classic “Coming to America.”“That was crazy,” Lisa Velez, 59, told The Post about almost getting her big-screen close-up three years after breaking out with 1985’s “I Wonder If I Take You Home,” her debut single with Cult Jam.“We were hanging out, Eddie and I, back in the day with Mike Tyson. I remember when he wanted to do a rom-comer, he wanted to test it out [to see if there was any chemistry].”Lisa Lisa apparently passed the test.“Later on I was sent a script, and they offered me that part, which was amazing,” she said of the role of Queens, New York resident Lisa McDowell, who is courted by Murphy’s Prince Akeem from the fictional African country of Zamunda in the beloved romantic comedy.But it was never meant to be for Lisa Lisa to be the future queen of Zamunda.“I was married then, and I showed my then husband [John Yulfo] the script, and he did not want me to do that,” she said.
