Gene Simmons has apologised after an interview in which he suggested that "bad decisions" were a contributing factor in the death of former Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley, who died in October from a brain bleed after falling down the stairs at his home in Morristown, NJ.
"He refused [advice] from people that cared about him – including yours truly – to try to change his lifestyle," Simmons told the New York Post. "In and out of bad decisions. Falling down the stairs – I’m not a doctor – doesn’t kill you. There may have been other issues, and it breaks my heart."
