On 3. December 1980, at Western Springs Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand, Ace Frehley played his last full show with Kiss before quitting in June 1982.
Ace Frehley:
“I was on a downward spiral and really needed to get away from the whole music business, and try and get a grasp on reality and take a step back. I’d really lost my identity, being ‘The Spaceman’ in Kiss for so long. I needed time to be away from that character and the whole crazy world of touring. So I think it did save my life.”
Ace Frehley:
“Paul actually came up to the house and we hung out and talked for a while. We went to a mall in Stamford, Conn., did some shopping and tried to recapture some of our old friendship. I look back on that now and realize it was a generous gesture on his part. Paul tried very hard that day to talk me out of leaving, but there wasn’t much he could do to change my mind.”
