Peter Criss Calls Cancer Recovery a 'Miracle' as He Promotes First Solo Album in 18 Years

He tells the KissFAQ podcast that prayer guided his 2008 cure.

Overview

  • Criss, 80, said on the KissFAQ podcast that he prayed intensely after his 2008 breast cancer diagnosis and credits God for his recovery.
  • The new song Walking On Water, inspired by that experience, appears on his self-titled album released last month, his first solo set since 2007.
  • He described feeling “so elated” upon being cured, saying the moment moved him to write a religious, deeply personal track.
  • Criss noted he raises money every October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month to support men with the disease.
  • He vowed to keep making music, and the interview situates his comments within a career that includes co-founding KISS and departing the band for the final time in 2004.
