<\/p>\n
Peter Criss has written a song about his cancer battle<\/p>\n
\nThe 80-year-old musician – who exited the band in 1980 – was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008 and underwent treatment before making a full recovery – and he’s now revealed he prayed “very, very hard” after he was given the news by his doctor and was “at church more than the pastor”.<\/p>\n
\nSpeaking on the KissFAQ podcast, he explained: “I had breast cancer a while back, and I prayed. I’m a very religious guy, so I really prayed very, very hard. I was at church probably more than the pastor, and I really prayed hard. And God gave me my miracle. And I felt, and I kid you not, that I really could walk on water.”<\/p>\n
\nHe explained he wrote his new song Walking On Water about his cancer battle, adding: “Have you ever watched that Being There movie with Chauncey Gardner? And at the end he walks on water, and you realize he’s an angel. I love that movie. And I felt like that. <\/p>\n
\n“I felt like I could walk on the ocean, and it was such a high. I was so elated that I was cured. And so I wanted to write a religious song, and I wanted to write about the experience that I was feeling inside, ’cause I always sing from the heart. <\/p>\n
\n“Everything comes from my heart. And that’s one of my favorite songs. I’m glad you brought it up, because Walking On Water is special.”<\/p>\n
\nThe song features on his latest self-titled solo album – which was released last month – and Criss declared the song is very “dear to my heart” because it’s so personal.<\/p>\n
\nHe added: “The whole band was just dynamite. But the vocals were very – yeah, it’s near and dear to my heart. It’s one of my favorite songs on the album …<\/p>\n
\n“That meant so much to me about beating cancer, ’cause I’m a big cancer guy. Every year I go out on October and I raise money for men for breast cancer.”<\/p>\n
\nThe rocker went on to insist he will never give up making music even though he’s now in his 80s. <\/p>\n
\nHe explained: “I’ll never stop, man. I ain’t stopping until they put me in the box. I’m gonna keep on going till I \u2026 Music is a gift from God. <\/p>\n
\n“I’m so blessed that I’m talking to you guys and talking about my writing and my composing and my feeling about music.”<\/p>\n
