Ace Frehley was told he’d live to be 100 years old in the months before his death at age 74.

“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,” the founding KISS member and guitarist told the Aquarian in March 2025. “I mean, we have longevity in the family on both sides.”

He added, “‘I just spoke to a psychic. She goes, ‘Ace, you’re going to live to be a hundred.’ So I said, ‘No problem!”‘

Frehley divulged during the interview that a previous injury had presented challenges to his musical career.

“I hurt my arm about two-and-a-half years ago — I fell down a flight of stairs,” he divulged.

“It’s been a struggle because I landed on my right arm, and that’s the arm that I strum with when I play guitar,” Frehley continued.
