Gene Simmons Asks KISS Fans for Peace Following Backlash Over Comments on Ace Frehley’s Death

Gene Simmons recently faced backlash from KISS fans after making comments about Ace Frehley’s

lifestyle and death. Fans said his comments were insensitive, especially while Ace’s family was

still grieving. Simmons later posted a short tribute saying “Ace FOREVER,” but many felt it

wasn’t enough and wanted a real apology. They accused him of speculating about Ace’s death and

speaking at the wrong time. Even with another tribute from Simmons and Paul Stanley,

fans still felt it lacked sincerity.
