Founding KISS members, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Peter Criss, reunited to lay their former bandmate, Ace Frehley, to rest.
The trio came together for the guitarist’s memorial, in the Bronx borough of New York City, the band’s longtime friend Eddie Trunk shared via Instagram.
“It has been an emotional couple of days to say the least (sic) saying farewell to a rock icon and long time friend,” the SiriusXM personality wrote alongside a memorial prayer card that read, “In Loving Memory of Paul ‘Ace’ D. Frehley.”
“All of the services went as well as they could and were attended by a small group of family and close friends, including the 3 surviving original members of @kissonline,” Trunk added.
The last time Criss, 79, Simmons, 76, Stanley, 73, and Frehley all publicly appeared alongside each other was at the 29th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in 2014.
The quartet formed KISS in 1973, and have reunited several times throughout the past few decades.
Frehley, born Paul Daniel Frehley, passed way on October 16th at the age of 74. He was reportedly put on life support, after suffering a fall, a couple of weeks prior. TMZ, reported that Frehley had a brain bleed as a result of the fall.
