Frehley chronicled his wild life with Kiss in his 2012 book, “No Regrets: A Rock ‘n’ Roll Memoir.” The book offered a behind-the-scenes (or behind-the-makeup) look at Frehley’s early beginnings with the band, including his input into the famous lightning bolt design and the group outfits. He also opens up about how divisions among group members and mounting tensions within the band led to his turbulent departure in 1982, only for him to return triumphantly a decade later to reunite with his musical brothers.
As publisher MTV Books writes, “This is Ace Frehley. No makeup. No apologies. No regrets.”
