He also played in Black Unicorn with Brian Ray, one of the guitarists who played on carry on. On 23 April he sent this message out to fans via a MySpace bulletin: "Hey all, I'm having a good old time out on tour with Chris Cornell....the gigs have all been a blast and the crowds are fantastic- so LOUD and into it, it's great. We try and do something new and interesting every show, adding songs constantly from the 20+ years of material from Soundgarden, TOTD, Audioslave, and Cornell solo material that we can pick from." Since Chris's tour ended, Peter has been working with Melissa Etheridge.
