He died of complications from ongoing health problems

Glenn Frey, a founding member of the Eagles, has died after suffering from ongoing health problems, the legendary rock band said. He was 67.

Frey died on Monday in New York City following a “courageous” weeks-long battle with rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia, the Eagles said in a statement on their website.

“The Frey family would like to thank everyone who joined Glenn to fight this fight and hoped and prayed for his recovery,” the statement said. “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.

Ya. Especially Frey. Apparently Don Felder made some offhand comment about one of Frey’s liberal causes and that was it for Felder. He was out.

Glenn probably was a control freak (along with Henley), but I prefer his voice personally...and I love the Eagles...such great memories of the ‘70’s...RIP

...and yet Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, and Katy Perry are still alive (okay, skip Katy on her rack alone).

What? Is God sleeping off the Universe's most epic hangover????

“Ya. Especially Frey. Apparently Don Felder made some offhand comment about one of Frey;s liberal causes and that was it for Felder. He was out.”

That was at their last concert in 1980 before they broke up. They were doing a fund raiser show for Alan Cranston (D-CA). Felder said he hate politics and didn't want to be aligned with anyone politically. So we when Alan Cranston came over to thank all the Eagles, Don Felder said snidely, “You're Welcome....I guess”

Frey got all pissed off and was threatening Felder throughout the whole show. At the end of the show, the had an altercation and both stormed off in separate lemo’s. The Eagles would not perform again until 1994. Felder got kicked out of the band in 2001 over financial issues with Don Henley and Frey. He sued them and it was eventually settled out of court.

Frey had invited Alan Cranston backstage before a concert during which time Glenn thought Felder less than respectful of the senator. Threatened to punch him out and was still mad at him decades later.

You know you’re getting old when more and more names appear in the obits that you know personally or professionally. Great music no matter their politics.

I suspect we’ll see alot of aging rockers die in the next few years. These are guys who lived exessive lifestyles with booze, drugs and promiscuity. Those things take a toll on you and affect your health in later years.

Glenn Frey’s ongoing stomach issues, by his own admission, was a byproduct of his heavy cocaine use in the 70’s.
