A member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is reportedly on life support. According to TMZ, the prognosis is not good for Ace Frehley of KISS.
This comes a little more than a week after Frehley, 74, canceled all 2025 concerts on his schedule due to what were being called “some ongoing medical issues.”
TMZ says sources familiar with Frehley’s condition say he suffered a brain bleed after falling in his studio a couple weeks ago.
TMZ also says Frehley has been on a ventilator and his condition has not improved.
President Donald Trump recently announced he hand-picked Frehley, along with KISS members, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, and Peter Criss to be Kennedy Center Honorees in December.
