KISS singer/guitarist Paul Stanley took to Twitter today to pay tribute to late drummer Eric Carr, who passed away on November 24, 1991 at 41.
"Eric was a major force both musically and spiritually while in KISS," says Paul. "His battle with cancer seemed all the more cruel because of his kindness and his never speaking badly of anyone. A gentle soul and I honor him on this day he left his friends, fans and family 29 years ago today."
