Ace Frehley, lead guitarist and founding member of rock group KISS, has died aged 74.

The Rolling Stone reported on Thursday night, US time, that he died in New Jersey surrounded by his family.

The guitarist suffered a brain bleed after a fall at his studio in September and was on life support for some time.

Family members said in a statement that they were "completely devastated and heartbroken" but would cherish his laughter and celebrate the kindness he bestowed upon others.

He was the reason I bought my first Les Paul.

A sloppy player, and a hopeless drunk, but he was a true rock 'n' roll legend.

RIP Ace.

Yes - he could never copy what he did in the studio, on stage, playing live.
I found the live acts were disappointing - covered up
by use of massive props to distract from the poor playing.
RIP.

My 8 yo will be devo...he just discovered Kiss and is obsessed.
