[edit] Cancelled Japanese Leg
The initial Japanese leg of the Farewell Tour was announced by promoter UDO artists on September 15, 2000 and cancelled six days later due to "scheduling problems." It wasn't publicly known at the time, for the "tear-drop" was yet to appear, but there were problems in Catland. Peter Criss effectively left the band following the final "Farewell" show in North Charleston, SC in October 2000. His Reunion contract had essentially expired and he and KISS were unable to come to terms for him continuing with the band for the Japan/Australia 2001 tour. He was replaced by Eric Singer.
