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.
That’s a blast from the past. Gram & Emmylou Harris were an item back in the day.
WTF do you know? You’re judging another man’s heart now? Heh! I guess we’ll all know about the skeleton’s in YOUR closet at the general judgement. Be careful whom you choose to condemn - it may be your own undoing. Remember - Pride goeth before the fall.
Thanks for sharing it.
Yeah, another holy roller who thinks he is without sin.
Well, sounds like you got good stuff.
Well done!
The barefoot bra-less singer for the Stone Ponies ... Linda was most certainly marching to the beat of a different drum ... And liberal as all hell - even to this very day, I might add
Oh man, what a crush I had on Emmylou back in the day.
Old Celebs and if you can remember them then watch your own back..........You and I could be next but nobody will ever remember us....LOL!
And there’s going to be a lot more of them, because the number of celebrities grew exponentially in the late 60’s/early 70’s due to television.
That’s putting it mildly!
I’ll certainly add to this thread. Loved the Eagles. RIP Glenn Frey.
!!!!
I did not know about Chris’ death ... ARGUH! NO WORDS!
She’s still beautiful. Best white hair around.
Definitely amazing. They don't call them the Strolling Bones for nothing.
I think if a lot of these old rockers get past 70, they're good for a while. Fully pickled and preserved after years of hard drinking, good for a couple extra decades.
Explain yourself.
Me explain? You are the one who made the moronic satin in reference? What do mean by that? You sound like the Church Lady!
And in this case, pneumonia.
The Guess Who - all 5 members still kicking and jammin!
He has real problems with his hands due to all the drumming over his lifetime.
He had great vocals. Playing drums and lead singing is not easy.
I have tried.
We have seen many rockers from Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, Joe Cocker and Allman etc, etc.....
Us old rockers still live on. It will hard when Seger goes, I sang all his stuff.
Oh nohs! “I feel yer pain.”
