Ace Frehley, Kiss’s original lead guitarist and the band’s Spaceman, died Thursday at 74 after a recent fall at home, his family said, with a representative attributing the cause, Rolling Stone reported. His family said they were devastated and that prayers surrounded him in his final moments. Frehley powered Kiss’s 1970s era of black-and-white makeup, leather, and pyrotechnics, later joining the band’s 1990s reunion. He also scored with the 1978 solo hit New York Groove.
