Guitarist Adam Bomb has shared new details about the circumstances surrounding Ace Frehley\u2019s death. He revealed information about two separate falls that led to the legendary KISS guitarist\u2019s passing. The statement was posted on Adam Bomb\u2019s Facebook page.<\/p>\n
Adam Bomb explained that he had spoken with Fifi Larue, who provided details about the events leading to Frehley\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just had a long conversation with Fifi Larue. He had spoken with Eric Singer a few weeks ago. Apparently Ace fell down some stairs I guess in his home studio, he texted Eric and said he was OK \u2013 nothing to worry about,\u201d Bomb said. \u201cBut around two days ago, he fell down again, I\u2019m guessing the same flight of stairs, hit his head again, and had to be airlifted by helicopter out of his home to the hospital where he was in a coma, upon arrival. It\u2019s hard to say why he was alone or who he was with or what caused him to fall down the stairs according to Fifi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bomb also shared personal reflections about Frehley\u2019s life and relationships.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a little sad that Ace broke up with his girlfriend that used to post all those live videos and Walmart videos and all that fun cool stuff that showed you how human Ace Frehley really was. Apparently, Ace was never able to get divorced with his estranged wife because let\u2019s just say she was connected. Ace lived in New Jersey and La Familia is a very powerful force and just because the sopranos ended doesn\u2019t mean it doesn\u2019t exist. Divorces can have dangerous consequencess in old family tradition,\u201d he continued. \u201cBut anyway, he fell down the stairs a second time and hit his head again, and he had to airlifted to the hospital by helicopter. By the time he got there he was in a coma.\u201d<\/p>\n
The guitarist emphasized the severity of the situation and provided the official time of death.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t take a medical professional to know if you have to be airlifted to the nearest hospital in New Jersey, it\u2019s obviously deadly serious. He was supposed to do two shows this week that he canceled because of the first incident two weeks ago, but he swore he was OK. They think the second fall was obviously much much worse and maybe he cracked his head open. I\u2019m sick to report this. He was pronounced dead at 6:16 NYC \u2013 October 16, 2025,\u201d Bomb stated.<\/p>\n
Bomb shared his emotional response and reached out to fellow musicians and KISS members.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve cried 100,000 tears less than 24 hours. I wrote to Tommy to offer my love and support and wishing hin to go back in time and remember when we were just kids that had that giant KISS poster on our walls and focused in the cool and beautiful guitar player that inspired both of us to be a lead guitar player before we could even play a complete song. I also wrote to Gene but I don\u2019t have a personal contact email fir him, maybe he\u2019ll see it maybe he won\u2019t \u2013 I really want him to plant 10,000 trees in Isreal in honor of Ace Frehley and I swear to God if I had the money I would do it myself,\u201d he said. \u201cThe actual members of KISS have not said too much, but I believe uncle Gene is crying like a baby like I am in, and can\u2019t get out of bed or bring himself to express his sorrow and sadness right now. For all that it\u2019s worth I know he has a big heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
He concluded with a tribute to the late guitarist.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sure the corporation will come out with an official statement In coming hours or days the manner that they sign off on, whoever they is. From this day forward, Ace Frehley deserves the total respect of his creation, and I pray to God as a man of Jewish faith that Paul and Gene who I believe out of respect for their religion as well would feel the same. The actual time of death was 6:16 NYC time, I was on stage playing a show at dedicated to Ace and he probably stopped on by to hear Rock Like Fuck and the KISS set that we did which seemed to have an energy that was out of this world. The world mourns and the world celebrates you Ace. You\u2019re one of a kind. Say hi to Johnny and Claire. I\u2019ll see you when I get old enough to get in. God Speed to Paul \u2018Ace\u2019 Frehley,\u201d Bomb concluded.<\/p>\n
Frehley\u2019s death marks the end of an era for rock music and the loss of one of the most influential guitarists in the history of the genre. The 74-year-old musician had been facing ongoing medical issues in the months leading up to his death. These issues had already forced him to cancel his 2025 tour dates.<\/p>\n
