Criss Drummed Out of Kiss

2 hours, 45 minutes ago

NEW YORK (Billboard) - When Kiss begins a five-date Japanese tour May 27 in Tokyo, Peter Criss (news) may not be sitting atop his familiar stool behind the drums.

In a posting on his official Web site (http://www.petercriss.net), Criss says his contract with Kiss has expired and that he has not yet been informed what, if any, his future status with the group is.

"No one, again no one has called me, or my attorney about an extension for future touring," he says. "As a founding member I find this to be disrespectful to me, and to the fans that have made us one of the biggest bands in the world. You will always get the truth from me, I have no reason to lie to the people that gave me such a wonderful life. And that's the God's honest truth."

On its lengthy recent tour with Aerosmith (news - web sites), Kiss performed without original guitarist Ace Frehley, who was replaced by former tour manager Tommy Thayer. A band spokesperson could not be reached for comment at deadline.

Here are Kiss' tour dates:

May 27-29: Tokyo (Budokan)

May 31: Osaka, Japan (Castle Hall)

June 2: Nagoya, Japan (Rainbow Hall)

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
