HomeGlenn Frey -- Eagles Guitarist Dead At 67 Glenn Frey Eagles Guitarist Dead At 67 1.4k 1/18/2016 1:48 PM PST BY TMZ STAFF EXCLUSIVE 0117-glenn-frey-getty-01Glenn Frey, co-founder and guitarist for the Eagles, has died ... TMZ has learned. We're told the cause of death was a combination of complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis, and pneumonia. 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. He died in New York City. Glenn co-wrote and sang on 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. Don Henley said, "He was like a brother to me; we were family, and like most families, there was some dysfunction. But the bond we forged 45 years ago was never broken. He added ... "We built something that has lasted longer than anyone could have dreamed. But Glenn was the one who started it all." Glenn was 67. RIP.

Another one dead who was significantely younger than I am. I tells me I'm next.
Don't think like that Robert. You are going to talk yourself into it. My grandfather always maintained a positive attitude about aging, and he died 1 month before his 90th birthday. Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists.
My dad was 3 months before.
Eventually. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
You elder gents are starting to sound like the Four Yorkshiremen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe1a1wHxTyo For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:6-8)
Glenn Frey, a giant among musicians. Better than any of the Beatles he and his cohorts in the group were the best of their generation, of that I have no doubt.
Now that's scary . I find myself doing the 'when I was your age" schtick to my daughter more often.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
I wouldn't go that far, but the Eagles were a great band. Frey's solo career, not so much. I was moved by the tribute Bob Seger gave him. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Love the Eagles . But the Beatles were much better and had a bigger impact .
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Yes but our parents had more claim to the 4 Yorkshiremen.:) How many times did we hear 'we walked 10 miles to school in the deep snow...there were not snow days back then.' :) For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:6-8)
yes . But it sounded like they had more fun. Dad told me that he used to prank the local trolly driver . Then he ended up being dad's father in law.

Great memory. For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:6-8)
Thanks Chuck !

Have to agree with you. The Beatles were great. The Eagles were frankly quite boring.
I thought they brought it up a notch when Joe Walsh joined the band . I looked it up today because Rolling Stone had a survey of the 500 greatest albums . 'Hotel California' was 37 on the list . The Beatles had 4 albums on the top 10 (including #1' Sgt Pepper '); 10 albums in the top 500 ,and 4 albums from their solo careers on the list . Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Yoo Bee Welcome!

“Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” - Ron Paul
Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
