Gene Simmons Apologizes For Insensitive Comments About Bandmate's Death
HuffPost
Simmons appeared to question whether Ace Frehley's cause of death was accidental in recent remarks.
Gene Simmons issued an apology after coming under fire for inflammatory comments he made about his late Kiss bandmate Ace Frehley.
“On reflection, I was wrong for using the words I used. I humbly apologize,” Simmons said in a post shared on Wednesday on X.
“My hand to God I didn’t intend to hurt Ace or his legacy but upon rereading my words, I see how it hurt everyone,” he added. “Again, I apologize. I’ve always loved Ace. Always.”
Frehley, 74, died in October after a fall at his home in New Jersey. A medical report from the Morris County Medical Examiner determined the cause of Frehley’s death was blunt trauma to the head, and ruled the rocker’s manner of death an accident.
Simmons seemed to deny that the cause of death was accidental in comments he made to the New York Post earlier this month.
