Ace Frehley On His Absence From KISS's Final Show: 'I Did Try, But I Couldn't Make It Happen'

"Fans would constantly reach out to me and say, 'Ace, please come back to the band,'" Frehley explained. "So the fans were and are my primary motivators, and I want them to know that I did try, but I couldn't make it happen. They never asked me."

Frehley dismisses the idea that his well-documented troubles with drugs and alcohol could ever have been a reason for former bandmates and KISS leaders Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley not reaching out to him. "I'm sober, and all my friends and associates will tell you as much," he stated categorically. "I got to the point in life where drugs and alcohol had taken me over, and I'm just so happy to be away from all that."

Guess he didn't try too hard as his last line is "they never asked me"

I would imagine he was banking on it happening to get some retirement money. Only speculation of course.

Didn’t he publicly announce that his services would cost Kiss $250.000 and G&P did not respond to the offer?
That’s Ace trying hard

Why should Ace have played for free for douchebags Gene and Paul? Ace gave his price, they declined and ended up with probably the most disappointing final show in rock history - everybody should just move on.

Gene and Paul, who never do anything if there's not $ attached, expect others to work "for the honor, for the fans, and we'll have refreshments backstage..."

I enjoyed that song. I have never heard of the stardust cowboy before. His record cover is very like frehleys, and he also " is going to get higher than the sun ". Great song.

Didn’t Ace say KISS couldn’t do a final tour without him because fans would demand his return?

You would have thought that genius would have gotten it through his big, smart brain that he wasn't invited after he attempted to blackmail Paul, then Paul called him and told him to "Go fuck yourself".

And even before fuckwit did that he did the infamous “the gloves are off!” post around 2019 when he said Gene sexually abused his fiancé and give him his rightful place back in the band or he’ll tell everyone what happened.

How did that work out for you Ace?
