Back in April, Criss noted that work on the album was complete.
“I have my new rock and roll album to you, Kiss Army guys, coming out in the fall,” he said then. “And I really hope you like it, man. What can I say? We had a ball.”
When Was the Last Time Peter Criss Released a Solo Album?
Criss last released a solo album in 2007, titled One for All. A decade later, he officially retired from touring.
“[I] see now all these guys from the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Rod Stewart and we’re all in our 70s now,” he explained then, “and I hate to say it but we’re dying out and that’s so real, there’s less rock and roll in the world. Less music in the world and it’s kinda sad. So I’m 71; I’m in the best health I’ve been in for a while and I thought if I’m gonna do it, I gotta do it now.”
