Reports indicate that Ace Frehley, the original lead guitarist of KISS, is currently on life support due to complications from a brain bleed he sustained in a fall at his studio several weeks ago. The 74-year-old rock icon's condition has worsened, resulting in the cancellation of his planned tour dates. Despite circulating rumors on social media regarding his death, sources confirm he is still on a ventilator as of Thursday afternoon. Frehley, a co-founder of KISS in 1973, has a history of health issues, including struggles with substance abuse. His hospitalization follows closely behind an incident involving bandmate Gene Simmons, who was treated for injuries related to a car accident in Malibu, which was linked to a fainting spell from medication adjustments.
