Peter Chris

Peter Criss was the heartbeat of KISS, both behind the drums and behind the microphone. His drumming drove the band’s earliest anthems, giving them raw energy and pulse, but it was his vocals that showed the world the soul of KISS. Songs like Black Diamond shook audiences to their core, while Beth revealed the tender side of the Catman — a song that became one of KISS’s biggest hits and a timeless ballad of love and loss.

Peter was more than a drummer; he was the spirit that reminded fans KISS was about heart as much as spectacle. His connection to the audience was personal, real, and deeply human. A final reunion with Peter behind the kit would close the circle — giving fans the farewell performance they’ve dreamed of for decades.
