MEDIA ALERT Drummer Scot Coogan issues a statement on the passing of ACE FREHLEY Los Angeles, CA (April 1, 2026) - Scot Coogan, Ace’s longest-running solo-band drummer and lead vocalist since 2006, has issued the following statement regarding his recent public silence and his intentions moving forward: “I have remained silent intentionally to give my crew, management, and most importantly Ace’s family the time and respect they deserve to grieve without noise, speculation, or opportunism. I personally feel it is far too soon to perform Ace’s music, and I have absolutely no interest in profiting from his name, likeness, or legacy. Working with Ace since 2006 was one of the greatest honors of my life. We shared the stage on countless tours and collaborated on multiple recordings, but our connection went much deeper than music. Ace walked my wife down the aisle and stood beside me as my best man. He wasn’t just someone I worked with - he was family. And because he was family, I will always protect and honor his legacy. Any money that comes to me connected to Ace’s name, music, or likeness will be donated to an animal charity in his honor. In the meantime, I've continued working & recording in Los Angeles, performing with my Led Zeppelin tribute project, and focusing on building my own music and identity. When the time comes to honor Ace’s contributions to rock and roll, it will not be rushed, and it will not be exploited. It will be done the only way that matters with dignity, respect, and real love.” Scot Coogan

As a footnote to Physical Graffiti, I thought you might like to hear the original home demo, recorded in my studio at Plumpton Place of a piece of music that was going to surface as 10 Years Gone. I presented this rough mix to the band at Headley Grange in order to do this for real. Robert Plant came up with some lyrics for my music that were extraordinary and then we arrive at the song 10 Years Gone. youtu.be/2o-SBDC8v0g
