KISS paid tribute to Ace Frehley during the band’s first show in nearly two years.
The legendary rockers kicked off the “KISS Kruise: Landlocked In Vegas” with an outdoor unplugged performance on Friday (November 14) at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
At the beginning of the concert, KISS frontman Paul Stanley asked fans in the audience to lift the electric candles which were handed out to everyone prior to the gig in honor of the founding KISS guitarist, who died last month at the age of 74.
“Before we get going, we just wanted to take a moment to think about somebody who is at the foundation of this band,” Paul said. “And we’re talking about Ace. So, we certainly had differences, but that’s what family is about. And why don’t we take a moment, a little quiet, to think about him looking down on us — from [the planet] Jendell, probably — and let’s have a moment for Ace. Candles up.”
