KISS will leave a chair free for their late bandmate Ace Frehley's spirit when they enter the Kennedy Center Honors next month.
The veteran rockers are among the recipients of the prestigious award - which "recognises and celebrates individuals whose unique artistic contributions have shaped our world" - this year and will be inducted alongside the likes of stage star Michael Crawford, disco legend Gloria Gaynor, country musician George Strait and actor Sylvester Stallone at a ceremony on December 7.
