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.

The Heat is Gone
I’d argue that Joe Walsh is a better guitarist.....id add that Fry and Henley are not easy to get along with as well. But those two were clearly the core Eagles guysand Felder messed up when he tried fighting them about the pay. His anti Alan Cranston comments were in the 80s right? He was kicked out on 2000 or 2001 I believe.
Music will become sampled vocals through Autotune, synthesizer loops, and drum machines. That is, if Islam doesn’t completely eliminate music.
IMHO Walsh’s best solo was his solo on Henley’s “Dirty Laundry”. (His was the first solo, Steve Lukather had the closing solo)
Saw the Eagles many years ago. Well, actually I couldn’t really see them because our tickets were in peanut heaven, but the music was just awesome.
I’m younger than Frey and Bowie, but not by much. Their deaths remind me to take better care of myself.
Rest in peace, Mr. Frey.
There was a time when 67 seemed old to me. Now that I am 67, it seems far too young to die.
RIP......
None of those ailments should have killed him.
Awww, man, the Eagles broke up! When did that happen?
Today, in fact.
You can check out, but you can never leave.
That’s the exact words out of hubby’s mouth when I told him.
Inadvertently pickled himself over the decades.
Ye Gads! That picture says one thing...DEATH!
Yeap. The Eagles was one of my favorites especially back in their Leadon/Meisner years.
Never leave? He’s already gone.
“Standing on the corner” with the “flatbed Ford” is a nice touch in that photo.
Years ago, I drove from OH to CA on a business trip via the southern route. OKC, Amarillo, Flagstaff...and Winslow, AZ.
As I approached Winslow, I needed gas and took the Winslow exit ramp during a windy, dust storm. The local radio station was playing “Take It Easy” - always had a fond memories of that song and town.
It would be a close contest between Walsh and Felder. IIRC Felder was good friends all the way back to high school days with Stills. The most versatile as far as instruments go of all the group? I’d have to say Leadon hands down.
