KISS founding guitarist Ace Frehley has had a long history of taking falls, often on stage — due to the boots he wore.

Usually he would keep on playing through the fall, but a fall this week in his studio caused the legendary rocker to go to the hospital and cancel a show.

“Dear Rock Soldiers,” a post on Frehley’s Instagram page began. “Ace had a minor fall in his studio, resulting in a trip to the hospital.”

The post continued that Frehley “against his wishes” had to refrain from travel and resulted in canceling a performance at the Antelope Valley Fair in Lancaster, California, on Friday.

“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 post concludes.
