The last time we checked in on Ace Frehley, the former KISS member was threatening to spill some dirt on the band “that nobody knows”; he settled for a “fuck you” phone call from Paul Stanley. In a recent interview with the Finnish publication Chaoszine, we got another funny Frehley tidbit: He’d love to tour Europe, but only if he can continue to avoid paying his taxes.

Frehley canceled a bunch of European tour dates last year, and in the interview he was asked about a rumor that he cannot play overseas because of passport issues. Frehley clarified that it’s not because of his passport, exactly, but because of the Internal Revenue Service.

“There’s a good chance I can make it to Europe in late summer if I get my passport renewed,” he said. “I’ve been having issues with renewing my passport because I have some problems with the IRS, and it’s not really the passport bureau but the IRS. Since I owe the IRS a couple of hundred grand, and they just instituted a new law that if you owe more than $50,000, they won’t renew your passport.”

“Luckily, I have some really smart attorneys working on it, and there are ways around it, so hopefully, I might be able to get my passport within two or three weeks,” he continued. “If that happens, I will be in Europe this summer. If it doesn’t happen, I will be in Europe next summer. But I’d love it to be this summer because it’s been too long since I did all the festivals there.”

As Blabbermouth points out, back in 2013 Frehley was kicked out of a home he owned in Westchester County, NY after it went into foreclosure because he didn’t pay his mortgage for two years; he also reportedly owed $20,000 in property taxes.

Frehley’s new album 10,000 Volts is out 2/23 and he says it will make Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons “look like imbeciles.”
