Very sad. I’ve been listening to Ace shred as long as I’ve been listening to music. RIP Space Ace.
Too bad. He was going to be at the Kennedy Centrr in December to receive honors with tge other 3 original members.
Sad news. Getting to 74 is pretty good for an old rocker.
omg RIP Ace
How did a minor fall cause this? Does anyone know?
How did a minor fall cause this? Does anyone know?
He suffered a brain bleed and was on a ventilator. Family made the decision to turn off life support.
‘Beth’ is a darn good song. Don’t know if he wrote it, rip.
Paul Stanley mentioned in his autobiography how, while on tour, he was relaxing in his hotel room when he heard guitar music coming from outside. He thought the guitar player was most excellent, the best he ever heard. Who could be playing so well? So, he went out onto the balcony of his hotel room to see. The talented guitar player was Ace who was playing on his room’s balcony right next door.
Of course, Ace was naked at the time.
Can a minor fall cause a brain bleed?
Could have developed later, or fall was not so minor.
Yes, I think Liam Neeson's wife died of the same thing, she fell while standing on flat ground in her ski's>
RIP Ace
When the four KISS members released solo albums in 1978, Ace was the only one to score a top 40 hit. “New York Groove” hit #13 on the Billboard Hot 100.
A lot of us were just teens when Kiss hit the scenes with their outrageous outfits (for the times). I liked their music but not enough to buy their albums.
RIP ACE
They always put on a good show .
I think that was Peter Criss
A lot of musicians from my generation died this year : Ace Frehley, Rick Derringer, Marianne Faithfull, John Lodge, Sly from Sly and the Family Stone, Chris Dreja (Yard Birds), Rick Davis (Supertramp), Mark Volman (Turtles), Ozzy Ozborne, George Kooymans (Golden Earring), Chuck Mangione, Connie Francis, Dave Cousins (Strawbs), Brian Wilson, Jesse Colin Young, Roberta Flack, Garth Hudson, Peter Yarrow from Peter Paul and Mary... and the year is not even over yet.
Could have stroked out or had an aneurysm then fell.
Relatedly, people who fall and break their hip often actually fall because their hip breaks.
