Former Members[]
As of 2018, Kiss is composed of rhythm guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley, bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons, lead guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer. Kiss however, was formed in 1973 with the members being Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Peter Criss and Ace Frehley. In the early 1980’s, Peter Criss was fired from the band due to erratic behavior and Ace Frehley subsequently left the band on his own and both were replaced by Vinnie Vincent as the new lead guitarist and Eric Carr as the new drummer. In 1984, Vinnie Vincent was fired and replaced by Mark St. John as the new lead guitarist. Mark St. John had a rare arthritic condition called reactive arthritis, which made it so that his hand would swell up and paralyze randomly, making it hard to play guitar.
Mark St. John left in 1984 and was replaced by Bruce Kulick. Mark St. John died of a hemorrhagic stroke on April 5, 2007. Eric Carr got diagnosed with heart cancer in February of 1991. In April of 1991, he went through surgery to get the tumor removed.
The tumour came back and spread to his brain. In September of 1991, Eric Carr became unconcious and never regained consciousness. On November 24, 1991, Eric Carr died. In 1996, Skid Row had an offer to support them, leading to the former band quarrelling and eventually firing lead singer Sebastian Bach.
