Ace Frehley, the wild Spaceman of Kiss who played guitar in the band throughout their Seventies heyday and again during the reunion period in the Nineties, inspiring an entire generation of musicians to pick up the instrument along the way, died on Thursday in Morristown, New Jersey. He was 74.

Lori Lousararian, Frehley’s rep, attributed his death to a “recent fall at his home,” though a specific cause of death was not immediately available.

“We are completely devastated and heartbroken,” Frehley’s family said in a statement. “In his last moments, we were fortunate enough to have been able to surround him with loving, caring, peaceful words, thoughts, prayers and intentions as he left this earth. We cherish all of his finest memories, his laughter, and celebrate his strengths and kindness that he bestowed upon others. The magnitude of his passing is of epic proportions, and beyond comprehension. Reflecting on all of his incredible life achievements, Ace’s memory will continue to live on forever!”

In late September, Frehley cancelled a concert at the Antelope Valley Fair in Lancaster, California, after suffering a seperate fall at his home that required a trip to the hospital. “He is fine,” read a note to fans, “but against his wishes, his doctor insists that he refrain from travel at this time.” On October 11, Frehley pulled the remaining 2025 dates on his calendar due to unspecified “ongoing medical issues.”

Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley were the primary songwriters in Kiss, but Frehley’s guitar chops and rock star attitude were key components of the band’s success. As a songwriter, Frehley wrote “Cold Gin,” “Parasite,” “Shock Me,” “Talk to Me,” and other fan favorites. Simmons, Stanley, Frehley and drummer Peter Criss were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.

“We are devastated by the passing of Ace Frehley,” Simmons and Stanley said in a joint statement. “He was an essential and irreplaceable rock soldier during some of the most formative foundational chapters of the band and its history. He is and will always be a part of KISS’s legacy. Our thoughts are with [Frehley’s wife] Jeanette, [his daughter] Monique and all those who loved him, including our fans around the world.”

Ok so its legit- there has been back and forth all day on if it was true or not.

According to multiple sources, Frehley experienced a serious medical emergency following a fall in his studio. What was initially described as a “minor fall” reportedly led to a brain bleed that required hospitalization/on life support.

Just a simple fall and you're gone.
74 is way too young to die.

But are they going to bury him all dressed up in his performance attire?

Oh I misread it as Paul Stanley. Still sad, but not as sad.
