Ace Frehley’s resting place has been revealed just over a month after the KISS musician died at age 74.
The iconic guitarist passed away on October 16 from a brain injury incurred from a fall, leaving him with blunt head trauma.
According to TMZ, Ace was laid to rest in a New York City cemetery following a private funeral.
The outlet published a photo of his tombstone, which was simply engraved with: ‘Paul “Ace” Frehley 1951-2025.’
The music artist had been on life support until his family made the difficult decision to remove him from the medical device.
Ace performed in KISS, as a founding member alongside Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Peter Criss.

When KISS rose to prominence in the 1970s, they stood out with their theatrical stage presence.
Their over-the-top makeup and larger-than-life personas set them apart from the era’s other rock acts.
Co-founder Gene became The Demon, Stanley transformed into Starchild, Ace was Spaceman and Peter’s alter ego was Catman.
‘At the same time that we were forming in New York, there was a very big glitter scene, where boys were basically acting like girls and putting on makeup,’ Gene recalled in a 1996 interview with Porkchops & Applesauce, per Far Out.
‘Well, we were more like football players — all of us were over 6′ tall — and it just wasn’t convincing!’ he explained.
The band celebrated a milestone in 2014 when they earned a coveted spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Ace, born Paul Frehley, co-founded KISS in 1973 and exited the collective in 1982.
He went on to form a band called Frehley’s Comet, releasing two albums.

Ace died in Morristown, New Jersey last month.
Weeks before his death he reportedly collapsed in his home studio, hitting his head in a fall that triggered a medical crisis.
The star was hopeful about life just months before he died.
He was interviewed by The Aquarian in March 2025, and revealed that he spoke to a psychic who predicted he would live a long life.
Ironically, Ace told the publication he had ‘good genes’ and ‘longevity’ in his family.
‘Luckily, I have good genes. My dad lived to be 96 and my mom lived to be 86, but her older sister lived to be 99. I mean, we have longevity in the family on both sides,’ the musician stated.
‘I just spoke to a psychic. She goes, “Ace, you’re going to live to be a hundred.” So I said, “No problem!”‘
