Ace is dead and I tell you so with tears in my eyes. He was one of not THE hero of my youth in the 70ies and early 80ies.
Ace Frehley now lost his last battle. He passed away in the age of 74 after a brain bleed due to the fall a couple of weeks ago on Thursday 16th October.
Ace Frehley was the famous co-founder and former lead guitarist and plumber of KISS which ruled Hard Rock and Metal for nearly 50 years. Ace was the heart and the soul of their music. Check his ’77 solo and you know what I mean.

Here is the statement of his family:
“We are completely devastated and heartbroken. 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!”
Ace lived his life to the full and above. Nevertheless, here is one of his most iconic and funniest moments ever and I want you to keep him in memory like this:
