"In a new interview with the New York Post ahead of the Kennedy Center Honors, KISS bandmate Gene Simmons claimed that "bad decisions" led to Frehley's fall, implying substance abuse may have played a role. "He refused [advice] from people that cared about him - including yours truly - to try to change his lifestyle," Simmons said. "In and out of bad decisions. Falling down the stairs - I'm not a doctor - doesn't kill you."
"On Sunday night, KISS's founding members will be celebrated by Donald Trump with the Kennedy Center Honors. The band's guitarist, Ace Frehley, will be inducted posthumously, after passing away due to injuries sustain from a fall in his New Jersey home studio in October. A medical examiner determined that Frehley suffered a skull fracture, a subdural hematoma (brain bleed), and a stroke as a result of the fall."
Donald Trump will celebrate KISS's founding members at the Kennedy Center Honors, and guitarist Ace Frehley will be inducted posthumously. Frehley died after suffering injuries from a fall in his New Jersey home studio in October. A medical examiner determined he had a skull fracture, a subdural hematoma (brain bleed), and a stroke. Frehley was put on life support and died at age 74 on October 16. Gene Simmons attributed the incident to "bad decisions," saying Frehley refused advice to change his lifestyle and suggesting other issues may have contributed. A toxicology report has not yet been released. Frehley reported 18 years sober as of 2024.
