From his website:
IT IS WITH THE HEAVIEST OF HEARTS THAT WE ANNOUNCEâ¦
...the passing of our comrade, Eagles founder, Glenn Frey, in New York City on Monday, January 18th, 2016.
Glenn fought a courageous battle for the past several weeks but, sadly, succumbed to complications from Rheumatoid Arthritis, Acute Ulcerative Colitis and Pneumonia.
The Frey family would like to thank everyone who joined Glenn to fight this fight and hoped and prayed for his recovery.
Words can neither describe our sorrow, nor our love and respect for all that he has given to us, his family, the music community & millions of fans worldwide.
He’s already gone........RIP Glenn Frey.
Dang ... if it weren’t so far away, I’d go stand on a corner in Winslow, Arizona.
Did that, once, on a road trip. Lost the picture. Bummer.
Washington Times too, now.
Hope they’re wrong, for his sake, I guess.
Read a few days ago that Glenn Campbell has gone home to die(Is in end stage Alzheimer’s Disease) very sad how all of these great entertainers and singers are dying :(
RIP.
We have a program called Riders of the Silver Screen on local east tennessee pbs that features western movies circa 1940’s
at the end, to fill up the time remaining they feature four old men singinging/playing old western/country songs. all are former nashville sidemen and the youngest was 80 a while back. they are having a great time on such a gig at such an age
Don Henley Must Die

Nonetheless, I thought Frey was a better singer than Henley. He was also the de facto leader of the group.
Wow. This is a shock, One of the premiere bands of my youth. I love the Eagles and their music. I’ve seen them 4 times since the 70’s. RIP Glenn.
Yeah, he was good in Wiseguy too.
RIP.
Well played, you’re on a roll.
Yes. Don Henley.
Couldn’t remember for a second.
Who else is dead?
Joe Waslsh?
Bob Welch? (Not the pitcher, who sadly did pass away).
Good lookinn’ fella. Sad he’s gone. Saw the Eagles in 74’. Warmup act was Billy Joel. 3 or 4 vocalists in that band. Says a lot.
FWIW.
Frankly he seemed like a nasty guy personally, but I’ll admit to liking his music a great deal.
Him too. Killed himself.
LOL. I wonder how many people even GET that. :-)
Yeah.
I’m laughing.
Someone’s gonna have a a Heart ache tonight.
