Ace Frehley rules out Kiss reunion

Former Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley says he won't rejoin the band for their next world tour, saying he is too old to wear make-up and jump around.

Former Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley has said that he won't be reuniting with the band because he's too old to be "putting on makeup and jumping around".

Frehley originally left Kiss in 1983 but returned in 1996 for a reunion tour with the original line-up, before leaving again in 2001 to concentrate on his solo career.

Asked if he would rejoin the band again for their next world tour, which begins later this year, he said: "I don't see it happening. I never say never, but I just turned 57. I don't see myself getting up onstage with tights on and putting on the makeup and jumping around like, you know, a kid again. Because I don't physically think I can do it. On the last reunion tour, I saw a couple of videos. I think we looked a little tired, you know? I think it's maybe better to put that segment of Kiss to sleep".
