| [People] Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley are paying tribute to their KISS co-founder Ace Frehley, who died at 74 on Thursday, Oct. 16. "We are devastated by the passing of Ace Frehley," Simmons, 76, and Stanley, 73, told Page Six in a joint statement Thursday. "He was an essential and irreplaceable rock soldier during some of the most formative foundational chapters of the band and its history." "He is and will always be a part of KISS’s legacy," they added before sending condolences to Frehley’s estranged wife Jeanette Trerotola, his daughter Monique Frehley and "all those who loved him, including our fans around the world." PEOPLE reached out to reps for Simmons and Stanley for comment. Frehley's family announced his death in a statement shared with PEOPLE on Thursday, saying the rocker died earlier that day in Morristown, N.J., following a recent fall at his home. "We are completely devastated and heartbroken. 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," his family said. "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," the statement concluded. TMZ previously reported that the rocker was on life support due to a brain bleed caused by a fall several weeks ago Related: Ace Frehley 12/23/2018 KISS Guitarist: Americans Should Support Trump ‘Or Move to Another Country' |
