Born Paul Caravello, Eric Carr got his big break in 1980 when he replaced original KISS drummer Peter Criss. He was a fantastic musician in his own right, and with his youth and enthusiasm he helped to reinvigorate the band at a difficult time. Eric's premature death from cancer at the age of just 41 was overshadowed by the passing of Freddie Mercury on the same day. Let's remember Eric. RIP #kiss #ericcarr | Marking Time

Eric Singer joined KISS in 1991 during a challenging period in the band’s history. Following the tragic death of drummer Eric Carr, KISS needed a musician who could honor the band’s legacy while bringing stability and strength to its future. Singer proved to be that musician. His drumming combined raw energy with technical control, perfectly matching KISS’s anthemic hard rock style. * #KISS #EricSinger #Catman #RockHistory #HardRock #DrummerLife #ClassicRock #RockLegends #KISSArmy | Bang-A-Gonzo
