ACE FREHLEY, ORIGINAL KISS GUITARIST, DIES AT 74 — THE SPACEMAN TAKES HIS FINAL FLIGHT October 16, 2025 – The rock world is in mourning. Ace Frehley, the legendary founding guitarist of KISS, has passed away at the age of 74 after being hospitalized for a brain bleed earlier this month. According to TMZ, Frehley was placed on life support following a fall in his home studio that led to severe complications. His family ultimately made the heartbreaking decision to remove him from life support on Thursday, October 16, after his condition failed to improve. Entertainment Weekly, Billboard, and People have since confirmed Frehley’s passing. Fans and fellow musicians around the world are flooding social media with tributes to the man forever known as The Spaceman. A Tragic End to a Legendary Career Just weeks before his passing, Ace had canceled all remaining 2025 tour dates, citing “medical issues.” Initially, the fall in his studio was described as minor, and he was advised by doctors to rest and avoid travel. Sadly, it now appears that accident was far more serious than first believed. Frehley’s health declined rapidly in the days that followed, leading to his hospitalization and eventual placement on a ventilator. From The Bronx to the Biggest Band in the World Born Paul Daniel Frehley on April 27, 1951, in The Bronx, New York, Ace rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most iconic guitarists in rock history. As a founding member of KISS, Frehley helped craft the band’s hard-hitting sound and larger-than-life image, performing on timeless classics like “Shock Me,” “Cold Gin,” “Parasite,” and “Rocket Ride.” His signature Les Paul tone, space-age persona, and wild stage antics made him a fan favorite — and a hero to countless guitar players around the world. Ace first left KISS in 1982, rejoined for the band’s 1996 reunion tour, and departed again in 2002 after their first “farewell tour.” Since then, Tommy Thayer had stepped into the Spaceman role, but fans never stopped associating Ace with that original cosmic magic. A Solo Legacy That Soared Beyond KISS Outside KISS, Ace Frehley carved out a powerful solo career. His 1978 self-titled debut (part of the four original KISS solo albums) remains a hard-rock classic, featuring the hit “New York Groove.” More recently, Ace released “10,000 Volts” in February 2024 via MNRK Music Group, continuing the streak of his Origins series — albums paying tribute to the rock songs that shaped his career. Collaborating occasionally with Gene Simmons, Frehley proved he could balance nostalgia with raw new energy, maintaining his reputation as both a pioneer and a survivor of the golden age of rock. The Last Word From the Spaceman In one of his final interviews with Guitar World, Ace revealed he had turned down an invite to join his former bandmates for the KISS Kruise: Land-Locked in Vegas event, saying: “They asked me and I declined. There’s no way I’m gonna be involved with that. Their biggest mistake is that they should have done that at Madison Square Garden, not in Las Vegas in a 5,000-seater.” He added, “I’m having too much fun doing my own thing.” That quote now hits with bittersweet weight — a reminder that even in his later years, Ace Frehley remained fiercely independent, unapologetically himself, and proud of the legacy he built. Fans, Friends, and Fellow Rockers Pay Tribute Social media has exploded with heartfelt messages using hashtags like #RIPAceFrehley, #SpacemanForever, and #KISSArmy. Fans are sharing memories of their first KISS concerts, first guitar solos, and the moment they fell in love with the magic of Ace’s style and swagger. Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have both expressed condolences, calling Ace “a brother in arms and an irreplaceable part of KISS history.” Farewell to the Spaceman Ace Frehley’s influence can be heard in every power chord, every guitar-slinging rock anthem, and every kid who ever dreamed of strapping on a Les Paul and blasting off to the stars. The Spaceman may be gone — but his riffs, his style, and his spirit will echo through rock and roll forever. Rest easy, Ace. You’ve earned your spot among the stars. 🌌🎸 Less

ACE FREHLEY HOSPITALIZED ON LIFE SUPPORT AFTER BRAIN BLEED — FANS RALLY BEHIND THE ORIGINAL KISS GUITARIST October 16, 2025 –  Legendary KISS guitarist Ace Frehley, known to millions as The Spaceman, has reportedly been hospitalized and placed on life support following a brain bleed that occurred after a fall in his home studio earlier this month. According to a report from TMZ, sources close to the situation say Ace has been on a ventilator for some time. Unfortunately, his condition has not improved, and family members are said to be considering the difficult decision to remove life support — possibly as soon as Thursday evening, October 16. Conflicting Reports on Ace Frehley’s Condition Despite multiple rumors circulating on social media that Frehley had already passed, TMZ confirmed that Ace Frehley was still alive as of Thursday afternoon, remaining on life support. As of now, no official statement has been released by Ace’s family or management team, and fans are urged to treat unverified information with caution until confirmed by official sources. Ace Frehley’s Recent Health Struggles Earlier this month, Ace canceled all remaining 2025 tour dates due to ongoing “medical issues.” The announcement came just two weeks after he withdrew from the Antelope Valley Fair in Lancaster, California, following what was described at the time as a “minor fall” in his studio. At that point, his representatives said he had been advised by doctors to avoid travel and focus on recovery. Sadly, it now appears the injuries from that incident were far more serious than originally reported. The Spaceman’s Legacy Ace Frehley — the original lead guitarist and founding member of KISS — first left the band in 1982, later reuniting in 1996 for their massive reunion tour before parting ways again in 2002 following the first “farewell tour.” Since then, Tommy Thayer has performed as the Spaceman during KISS’s later tours and final shows. Beyond his KISS legacy, Ace built an impressive solo career that influenced generations of guitarists. His latest studio release, “10,000 Volts,” dropped in February 2024 via MNRK Music Group (formerly eOne Music) — a follow-up to 2018’s Spaceman. Frehley was reportedly working on “Origins Vol. 3”, the third installment of his acclaimed series of albums featuring covers of the songs that inspired him. Ace’s band in recent years featured Ryan Spencer on bass, Jeremy Asbrock on guitar, and Scot Coogan on drums. Still Speaking His Mind In one of his last interviews before this medical emergency, Frehley told Guitar World that he declined an invitation to perform with his former bandmates at the upcoming KISS Kruise: Land-Locked in Vegas event. “They asked me and I declined,” Ace said. “There’s no way I’m gonna be involved with that. Their biggest mistake is they should’ve done that at Madison Square Garden, not in Las Vegas in a 5,000-seater.” Ace added that he was “having too much fun doing [his] own thing” — and even joked that he might eventually be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist. Fans Worldwide Show Support As news of Ace’s condition spreads, messages of love and support have flooded social media from fans and fellow musicians alike. Hashtags like #GetWellAce, #SpacemanForever, and #AceFrehley are trending across multiple platforms, with fans uniting to send positive energy to one of rock’s most iconic guitar heroes. ⚡ About Ace Frehley Paul Daniel “Ace” Frehley was born April 27, 1951, in The Bronx, New York. Known for his unmistakable tone, cosmic persona, and influence on hard rock guitar, Ace helped define the sound and image of KISS during their golden era of the 1970s. From writing and performing classics like “Shock Me,” “Cold Gin,” and “Rocket Ride,” to launching a solo career that inspired a new generation of shred-happy guitarists, Frehley’s impact on rock and roll is immeasurable.

With this release, Kalmo drags listeners even deeper into their world of suffocating gloom, melding the grit of raw black metal with the crushing weight of traditional doom. “Thy Saviour, Thy Master” is a sermon of despair—a nightmarish vision of corruption and damnation, painted in riffs as dense as tomb walls and vocals that echo from beyond the grave. “As a reviewer of underground metal I’d heard whispers of a new Kalmo single, then as if ordained by an uncanny cosmic alignment the opportunity to preview the track arose.I was left giddy, as ‘Thy Saviour, Thy Master’ hits hard with crushing heft, brutish composition and lyrics delivered with menacing intent... It paints a terrifyingly vivid image of a church inundated by unthinkable evil.”— Proua Metallist Continuing their collaboration with Roland of Cavern of Echoes (cavernofechoes.com)—who mixed and mastered the previous single—Kalmo ensures that every second of sonic weight is steeped in the band’s trademark darkness. The single also features a guest appearance by guitarist Juhani, whose leads carve new scars into Kalmo’s relentless soundscape. The single’s official video, produced by Kalmo, visualizes this descent into the abyss with stark, ritualistic imagery—an offering to those who worship at the altar of blackened doom. 🎧 Listen now: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/kalmo2/thy-saviour-thy-master https://kalmo-doom.bandcamp.com/track/thy-saviour-thy-master ABOUT KALMO Kalmo (meaning cadaver in English) is a Finnish blackened doom metal force that fuses the grim despair of doom with the ferocity of black and death metal.
