Shocked, Glen Frey RIP

I was floored when I heard a few minutes ago, Glen Fry has died from his intestinal issues. The Eagles were a great band and I was fortunate enough to see them recently. RIP Glen, thanks for the many memories.

Glenn Frey, Eagles Guitarist Dead At 67

Sad new, indeed.
Glenn 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."

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.

It's quite staggering how many Wikipedia-worthy people have died already this year.

Wow!!!

I was fortunate enough to see the Eagles just last year. The Eagles were certainly at the top of my favorites from the seventies and all time. I did kind of wonder why all the bandages and stuff on his hands, I thought he might have arthritus.

RIP Glen.

A tragic passing of one of the greats - far too early.
I was very fortunate to see the Eagles for my first time on their Australian tour late last year. I was absolutely blown away by the performance which unlike so many other legendary groups, had not suffered with the passing of time.
At the performance we heard from each member individually, which in the light of this sad news, was a real privilege.
Taken in the bigger time span, these guys were giants and their music will be around as long as popular music exists.
