KISS's Peter Criss Still Haunted By Cancer Fear

. (Rock News Desk) Former Kiss drummer Peter Criss has been clear of cancer for four years, but he admits every time he feels pain the spectre of the killer disease returns to haunt him.

Criss was diagnosed with breast cancer, a form which many people don't realise can affect men as well as women. Since fighting off the illness the 65-year-old has dedicated time to spreading the word in the hope of saving lives.

"My checkup comes up next week. I'm real excited about it because I feel great, except for the old pains that come from drumming for fifty years," Criss tells Ultimate Classic Rock.
