Original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley has announced the touring lineup for the first leg of his first U.S. shows in four years which will be announced next week. The 2014 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee has tapped Richie Scarlet, who performed rhythm guitar and vocal duties on his Trouble Walkin' album in 1989. Richie toured with Ace in 1984 and 1985 and periodically from 1989 through 1995 and was also known for touring with Sebastian Bach.

On bass and vocals will be Chris Wyse. Previously recording with Ozzy Osbourne and playing on Mick Jagger's 2001 solo album, Chris is well known as the bass player from The Cult since 2006. Chris can also be heard on Frehley's new album, Space Invader, on select tracks. He also covers bass duties in his current band Owl.

Finally, Scot Coogan will be behind the drum kit for Frehley's upcoming tour. Coogan played with Frehley for five years until 2012 when he left Ace's band to focus on other projects. He has since toured and recorded with Lynch Mob and sat behind the kit for Lita Ford on the 2012 Rock Of Ages tour with Def Leppard and Poison.

Frehley says: "I can't wait to hit the road again with this new lineup. I'll be performing Ace classics as well as songs off my new CD Space Invader for the enjoyment of the fans. Let There Be Rock!"
