The original “Catman,” KISS drummer and “Beth” singer, Peter Criss says he’s retiring from the concert stage and will play his final show in New York Saturday.
The raspy-voiced Brooklynite, who sang KISS’s biggest hit single “Beth,” is calling it quits in NYC with his final performance in a long and storied career.
He says he wants to leave the stage happy, and retire to his home at the New Jersey shore to finish some recording projects, a children’s’ book, and a comedy screenplay he hopes will interest actor Ben Stiller. h/t
It’s his way to purge the bad taste left in his mouth by a series of unhappy endings with Kiss, including the band’s 2014 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, where quarreling over which lineup would perform at the ceremony ended up with Kiss not playing at all.
