Motley Crue Sydney Show Cut Short, Vince Neil Rushed To Hospital

Nearly half a century after KISS marched through the streets of Manhattan in borrowed business suits, the band's third studio album Dressed To Kill has returned in a lavish 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition. Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have produced an unboxing video of new set, revisiting the frantic early years that forged the record and ultimately launched KISS toward global domination.

KISS have returned to the stage for the first time in two years, and for the first time since the death of Ace Frehley, the legendary guitarist who helped define the band's sound. The shows formed part of the three day Kiss Kruise, held at the Virgin Hotels complex in Las Vegas. While the band stepped away from the road following the End Of The Road tour in 2023, the return to performance has offered long term fans a chance to reconnect with a group that has shaped rock culture for more than fifty years.

Ace Frehley, the founding lead guitarist and cosmic trailblazer of KISS, has had his cause of death officially confirmed, several weeks after he passed away at age 74. The Morris County Medical Examiner in New Jersey has ruled Frehley’s death an accident, confirming the guitarist died from blunt trauma to the head following a fall.

Paul Daniel “Ace” Frehley, the original lead guitarist and co-founder of KISS, has died aged 74. The man who brought outer space to the stage and forever changed rock guitar passed away on 16 October 2025, only weeks after suffering a fall in his home studio that led to a brain bleed. Frehley had been on life support since late September, following what was initially described as a “minor fall”.

Original KISS guitarist and solo artist Ace Frehley is reportedly in a critical condition, fighting for his life after suffering a brain bleed caused by a fall in his home studio a few weeks ago.

Rock legend and KISS co-founder Gene Simmons is recovering at home in Los Angeles after a car accident on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu earlier this week. The 76-year-old musician was briefly hospitalised after reportedly passing out behind the wheel of his Lincoln Navigator, which veered across several lanes of traffic and collided with a parked vehicle just before 1 p.m. on Tuesday, October 7.

Rock legend Ace Frehley has been sidelined after a fall in his studio led to a precautionary trip to hospital, forcing him to cancel his scheduled performance at the Antelope Valley Fair in Lancaster, California.
