The Facebook Statement:
Due to some ongoing medical issues, Ace has made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of his 2025 dates.

*** end of statement ***

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Back on September 26th, Ace and his Team had taken to Facebook to announce that the iconic guitarist had taken a fall in his home studio and based on almost three months of touring being postponed makes me wonder how bad he was injured. That original statement is below for your reference.

“Dear Rock Soldiers, Ace had a minor fall in his studio, resulting in a trip to the hospital. He is fine, but against his wishes, his doctor insists that he refrain from travel at this time. As a result, he is forced to cancel his performance at the Antelope Valley Fair in Lancaster, California on Friday, September 26th. Please go to the fair to support his friends in Quiet Riot and Vixen, and Ace looks forward to continuing on his tour and finishing work on his next album, ‘Origins Vol. 4.”

The Details: So I don’t really think that I need to tell you much about the great Ace Frehley but if you have just arrived from another planet or have been on a secret mission in the Hollow Earth let me point out that he was a founding member of the legendary KISS and for the last couple of decades has been serving up music of his own in a vibrant solo career. It’s a safe bet that everyone has his 1978 solo album which is a bit of a masterpiece to me and now he is out there continuing to support his most recent album “10,000 Volts”. His shows will excite both the real guitarists and the air ones from start to finish and now thanks to the fine folks in the Marketing Department of the Blue Note Entertainment Group, PiercingMetal will be giving away a few tickets to his upcoming show at Sony Hall.

When and Where: Thursday, March 13th at Sony Hall (235 W 46th St, New York, NY 10036) at 7:30PM.
