Ace Frehley, who used to play guitar for Kiss says that he’s treating his sobriety and legite lifstyle very seriously; not only does he stay clean and sober, but he also requires that from the band members he is currently playing with. He is currently on a solo tour on which (as strange as it may sound) he has forbidded drugs and booze.
The recovering alcoholic and drug user could be a great example of the ‘drugs, sex and rock’n’roll’ lifestyle. “This time around, I’m real serious about my sobriety,” Frehley says recently.
Still, he says he doesn’t regret much from his past, which is great! We could really learn something from that. But still, it is said that his battle against addiction fueled the force behind the KISS split up in 1983, about three years after the departure of original drummer (Petere Criss).
While they were (supposedly) staying clean and sober, Frehley was definitely using, and he dragged some people into trouble on several occasions.
“I did some silly things in those days and (there were) a lot of car accidents and missed recording sessions and you know, this that and the other thing. I’m glad that all that mayhem and insanity is behind me,” says Frehley, who once led police on a 145-kph car chase in 1982.
