Ace Frehley
American guitarist, founding member of Kiss,
Has Died At Age 74.
Paul Daniel "Ace" Frehley, (April 27, 1951 – October 16, 2025) was an American musician who was the original lead guitarist, occasional lead vocalist and founding member of the rock band Kiss. He invented the persona of The Spaceman (a.k.a. Space Ace) and played with the group from its inception in 1973 until his departure in 1982. After leaving Kiss, Frehley formed his own band named Frehley's Comet and released two albums with the group. He subsequently embarked on a solo career, which was put on hold when he rejoined Kiss in 1996 for a highly successful reunion tour.
Frehley's second tenure with Kiss lasted until 2002, when he left at the conclusion of what was originally purported to be the band's farewell tour. His most recent solo studio album, Origins Vol. 3, was released in 2025. Guitar World magazine ranked him as the 14th Greatest Metal Guitarist of All Time.
Outside Kiss, Frehley achieved further commercial success and popularity, with his 1978 eponymous debut solo studio album achieving platinum status. His 1987 eponymous debut studio album with his Frehley's Comet band was also a big success. Frehley is noted for his aggressive, atmospheric, and melodic guitar playing and is also known for the use of many "special effects" guitars, including a Gibson Les Paul guitar that emits smoke from the neck humbucker pickup and produces spinning pyrotechnics and a custom Les Paul that emits light based on song tempo. Frehley was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014 as a member of Kiss.
