Ace Frehley’s fellow founding Kiss bandmates are paying tribute to the guitarist after he died in New Jersey on Thursday at age 74.

The legendary rock and roll musician died Thursday after suffering a recent fall at home. His family shared in a statement that the legendary musician was surrounded “with loving, caring, peaceful words, thoughts, prayers and intentions as he left this earth.”

Frehley co-founded the American rock band in 1973 with lead singer Gene Simmons , guitarist Paul Stanley and drummer Peter Criss. They rose to fame thanks to their memorable face paint, elaborate stage outfits and lively shows that featured plenty of pyrotechnics. The band was also inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
