Wow.

He was not actually the founder of the Eagles. Randy Meisner was. They kicked him out down the road. Either way, that's sad.

[Perianne]

Founder of the eagles.

I was think after David Bowie died about how the old rockers are...well, getting old. Within the next few years we will see a bunch of them pass away. Keith Richards has been dead for years but doesn't know it.

[Black Diamond]

Wow.

Didn't Glenn Frey and Don Henley play in Linda Ronstadt's band?

The Stone Ponies? Bo, They performed with her a time or two and did session work with her. I don't think they were ever part of her official band.

[Gunny]

I stand corrected though. While Frey was one of the original Eagles, it was by mutual agreement with Henley, Meisner and somebody named Leadon. Frey and Henley performed together prior to Ronstadt but they weren't the Eagles.

I remember seeing an old clip of them together in the studio on vh1. You know before reality shows. :cool:

Back before every video had a black guy showing all da white models he can put in his video and

My friend is a huge eagles fan. He's devastated. I've never had a day like this. Rockers I liked: Elvis, Lennon, Moon, Bonham, bon Scott died when I was little.
Morrison and Hendrix, Buddy Holly before I was born.

[Black Diamond]

I wasn't into country when Waylon and Johnny died.

Right you are! Thanks for this one. Which also reminded me of all the Genisis music for Miami Vice.

The 80's were fun because....think about it, there still was no thing as Political Correctness Mania.

Bob Seger Recounts Glenn Frey’s Last Days

By Sterling Whitaker January 23, 2016 3:00 PM

Glenn Frey‘s death at the age of 67 stunned his fans, but in a new interview, his longtime friend and fellow rock legend Bob Seger reveals that Frey’s health had been much worse than most people knew.
Frey died on Monday (Jan. 18) in a hospital in New York City, succumbing to complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia. He had undergone stomach surgery in November, which caused the Eagles to push back their Kennedy Center Honors, and according to Seger, he never left the hospital.
The pair had been friends since their early days together in the Detroit music scene, and a young Frey even played guitar and sang backing vocals on Seger’s “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man,” long before he found fame in the Eagles. Seger tells the Detroit Free Press that Frey was always one of his greatest cheerleaders and friends over the years, and he was concerned when Don Henley contacted him in November to tell him Frey was hospitalized and in poor health.
“He was in a coma, and he’d come out, but then he couldn’t breathe. They’d put him back into the coma,” Seger recalls. “They were trying like hell to keep him alive … [Eagles manager] Irving [Azoff] pulled every ace out of the hole — he had the eight best specialists working on Glenn.”
Those efforts proved to be in vain. “About a month ago, they had to throw up their hands.”
Frey had a long history of stomach problems, which he attributed to his period of alcohol and drug use in the 1970s, according to the Washington Post. Beginning in the ’80s, he settled into a happy home life as a husband and father, and led a healthy lifestyle that included an extensive workout regimen. Seger says there was much more to his friend than the public ever saw. In fact, the last time he and Frey saw each other at an Eagles gig in July, Frey had to fly in last-minute after attending one of his kids’ graduation.
“He loved his family. He loved those kids. He was devoted to them,” Seger states. “He was so much more than people knew he was … He would never fail to start with telling me how grateful he was that audiences were still there. He loved the band. He loved the fact he could keep doing this. And he kept doing this until six months before he died.”
