Glenn Frey, a founding member and guitarist of the Eagles, has died ... TMZ has learned. Frey had been battling intestinal issues for months and had surgery in November. We're told in the last few days his condition took a turn for the worse. Glenn co-wrote and sang most of the Eagles hits, including "Take It Easy," "Tequila Sunrise," "Lyin' Eyes," and "Heartache Tonight," to name a few. He also co-wrote "Hotel California" and "Desperado" with Don Henley and took home 6 Grammys with the band. After the Eagles' 1980 breakup, Glenn launched a successful solo career, recording numerous hits ... most notably "The Heat Is On" and "You Belong to the City." Glenn also got into acting, snagging a recurring role on "Miami Vice." He reunited with the Eagles in '94 for their monster Hell Freezes Over tour and recorded music till the end, releasing what would be his fifth and final solo LP, "After Hours," in 2012. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer had been fighting intestinal issues for awhile but his condition relapsed before the holidays, forcing the Eagles to pull out of their Kennedy Center Honors appearance in December. At the time, the band said he needed major surgery that would require a lengthy recovery, but it appears he was never able to bounce back. Glenn was 67. RIP.
Just terrible ..... wasn’t it /s
Thanks for posting the pic, we stopped there three summers ago. Good memories.
LOL--that's true.
And Dan Haggerty too.
It’s getting kind of alarming how many all of a sudden, isn’t it?
No pistol. Not one on me anyway. That was kinda the last straw though.
I didn’t know until we got to Atlanta that she had bought all those tickets. Her reasoning was “Since my sister is nice enough to let us stay at her house then that was the least “we” could do.”
Found out when her sister said to me, on the way to the concert, “Thanks for the tickets!”
Seger & Frey grew up together in Michigan as teenagers. What are the odds they would go on to be two of the biggest acts in the 70s/80s.
I saw them with Jackson Brown and Linda Ronstadt. Now that I think about it, it may have been 1975. So long ago.
This one hit me hard. Saw them in Orlando back in 77 with my brother, who passed away 25 years ago at the age of 35. Makes me cry. The Eagles were my favorite.
Slim odds, I'd say; that is interesting to know. I grew up with Mark Kendall of Great White. Same high school, we lived about 1/4 mile apart.
And in turn the Eagles provided backing vocals on “Fire Lake.”
I saw him the past two years. He and the band were great and it was so much fun to be young again, even for a couple of hours.
At this rate the whole music industry should be gone by late April.
Yes is/was one of my favorite bands. I start off every walk of mine (5+ miles) to Siberian Khatru (live version). Brings back memories of driving on the Autobahn, going 110 mph with the stereo full blast. Gets the blood going, always gets my head right.
A bit of me died today. It has been a year of death for me. I am done with people dying. PLEASE STOP!
I wish it was that easy. We have lost some good friends and family already this year.
And then the Spring came...
Yup....that whole Seger album Against the Wind was influenced by the Eagles sound.

That’s cool. Is Great White still active ?
The Eagles Greatest Hits... first one... is in the top 5 album sales, of all time, in any genre.
Don Henley just broke his silence to Rolling Stone magazine
