Ace Frehley, guitarist and founding member of the rock group Kiss, has been left on life support weeks after canceling tour dates through the end of the year.

Rumors began swirling online Thursday afternoon about Frehley’s health. Approached for comment, a representative for Frehley, 74, told The Independent: “I am in direct contact with his people and there has been NO confirmation that Mr. Frehley has passed at this moment.”

However, TMZ has since reported that the guitarist is on life support.

On September 25, Frehley’s tour manager John Ostrosky posted on Facebook that the musician had suffered a “minor fall” and would have to cancel an upcoming tour date.

A subsequent update from Frehley’s official page on October 6 announced: “Due to some ongoing medical issues, Ace has made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of his 2025 dates.”
