December 2004
Brent Fitz unexpectedly had to drop out of the Japanese KISS Expo. Seems Brent has a great opportunity to tour Canada and won't be able to drum with UNION. Bruce made a few calls and none other than KISS drummer Eric Singer came to the rescue. Eric will join Bruce, John Corabi and Jamie Hunting for the two Japanese shows on Jan. 29th & 30th. The lineup will perform several UNION songs and classic cover tunes, which will of course include KISS songs. Eric will also appear at the expos during the day to greet fans and sign autographs.
Bruce is so relieved Eric is on board. He really wants these shows to be special for the Japanese fans and can't think of a better way then to have Eric Singer on drums! Eric was happy to be able to help out his friends Bruce and Brent, and to also make sure that the shows were not canceled. Eric said he was really looking forward to performing with Bruce again and thinks the shows will be a lot of fun for everyone!
KISS Japan Expo Info: 2 great shows will take place at the TAKADANOBABA CLUB PHASE in Tokyo with doors opening at 1PM. Bruce Kulick/Eric Singer/John Corabi/Jamie Hunting will perform at both shows.

Danny from the KISS tribute band Dressed To Kill sent in a few pictures and the following message: "Just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know how much we all enjoyed Bruce joining us on stage at the UK Expo. He is a consumate professional and it was an honour to play along side him. Thanks again Bruce for coming to the UK, we hope you return very soon."
