Peter Criss

Homeless man had sold his story to a tabloid, claiming to be the former Kiss drummer.

He claims the original members "should have been" with Kiss for 50 years.

For all of their disagreements, he says he emerged in a far more stable financial place.

Drummer deliberately ruined three of his final five shows with original lineup.

"The only reason they’re not here with us is themselves," says the Kiss bassist.

Simultaneously released debuts "probably put the final nail in the coffin of the band," he later concluded.

Ex-Kiss drummer did not arrive with a great deal of momentum – and this third solo album didn't exactly help.

Former Kiss drummer led glam-rockers through three solo tunes.

All four living, non-active Kiss alumni will perform at weekend-long event.

Event also features Ace Frehley, Vinnie Vincent and Bruce Kulick.
