"In a recent interview with the New York Post, Simmons said of Frehley's passing, "He refused [advice] from people that cared about him - including yours truly - to try to change his lifestyle. In and out of bad decisions. Falling down the stairs - I'm not a doctor - doesn't kill you. There may have been other issues, and it breaks my heart.""
"In a post on X/Twitter early Wednesday morning, Simmons issued an apology, writing, "On reflection, I was wrong for using the words I used. I humbly apologize. My hand to God i didn't intended to hurt Ace or his legacy but upon rereading my words, I see how it hurt everyone. Again, I apologize. I've always loved Ace. Always. - Gene Simmons (@genesimmons) December 10, 2025""
