Ace Frehley, who co-founded Kiss and served as the band’s original guitarist for years, has passed away. He was 74.
The musician’s family announced the devastating news in an emotional statement on Thursday, Oct. 16.
“We are completely devastated and heartbroken,” they began, per Variety. “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,” Frehley’s loved ones continued. “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!” they concluded.
Hours before the news of Frehley’s passing, it was revealed that the former Kiss rocker had been placed on life support with a brain bleed following a scary fall he suffered in his studio last month.
