Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley, passed away on October 16, 2025, after a fall. Frehley was a founding member of the band, which formed in 1973 and dominated ’70s rock culture with shows were full of pyrotechnics and outlandish costumes that kept each musician’s true identity a secret under a layer of face paint. Over the years, the lineup of the band changed, they eventually revealed their faces, but they always kept their cool. The band played their final tour in 2023 but announced the show would go on with digital avatars instead of the real rockers for upcoming shows.

In honor of Frehley’s passing, let’s find out what the members of Kiss have been up to in recent years.
