Paul ‘Ace; Frehley, founding member of KISS, has passed away. He was 74.

He was with his family as he went, and they’ve released a statement:

“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. 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!”

Ace played both guitar and the character Spaceman.
