Peter Criss, the founding drummer of KISS, is retiring from touring...and he will be missed.
Peter performed the classic "Beth" as he said goodbye to fans. Criss was an original member of KISS, and shared lead vocal responsibilities on popular songs such as "Beth", "Black Diamond", "Hard Luck Woman", and others.
He's also local to the area (residing in Monmouth County); and, as someone who has had a few interactions with him, I can vouch that he's a class act.
Check it out! And farewell to the great Peter Criss (though we'll see ya around in Jersey)!
