Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley’s New York home destroyed by fire

A suburban New York house owned by the former Kiss lead guitarist Ace Frehley has gone up in flames.

The Journal News newspaper reported that firefighters had been called to the stone house in the town of Yorktown Heights late on Saturday morning. The home was heavily damaged, with flames burning through the roof.

The newspaper said the musician had been fighting foreclosure on the property in Westchester county court.

The Red Cross helped a resident with emergency lodging. A neighbour said a caretaker had been living in the home.

It was not clear where the 62-year-old founding member of the famed rock band was at the time of the blaze. He played with the group until 2002, during what was billed as their farewell tour.
