KISS Would Have Killed Ace Frehley Had He Stayed

. (Classic Rock) Former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley believes he'd have died if he'd remained in the band after 2002. He bowed out for the second and apparently final time 13 years ago - and he says he'd realised he was on a "collision course."

Frehley tells Australia's Today show: "When I left there was a sigh of relief. I just thought I was going to end up being a statistic. By the grace of God I'm here today, clean and sober eight years. Life's never been better."

He says of beating the bottle: "The first year or two is hard" - but it's better than being the person who "was looking at being in trouble with the law for drunk driving and all that crazy stuff." Read more here.
