Cancer and other illnesses can kill at any age.I lost my sister at 56 with breast cancer in 2007.I lost my friend at 29 with a heart attach in his sleep in 1992.I just found out last week my ex -bosses son died in his sleep with sleep apnea and he was 45.

Its really sad that we are seeing a great generation of artists and band members are passing away at a young age.

RIP Glenn..................................

I am in a state of shock and disbelief at Glenn’s passing. It was so unexpected and has left me with a very heavy heart...

i don't like that all these 'legends' are dying this side of 60/that side of 70

as much as i'd like to believe Stevie is immortal
i think she's used up a LOT of her 9 lives
and that she's still here for a reason.

Bowie worked right up til the end because he knew what was coming

but i think FM in particular, especially after what happened to John should get their asses moving on something

music lives forever
but concerts can be forgotten
they def have another record in them :thumbsup:

and ya can't take all that tour money with ya when you go......

(and if you leave a pile to your kids or god kids they'll all just be lazy arses and blow it doing nothing. Sting recently said he's giving it all away, his kids won't be getting any big wads of cash when he goes. I'm sure they're doing fine now but not when he goes)

I mean at this point we'll be lucky to get out of January without someone else dropping dead who is connected to who they were.

News just came in that Dallas Taylor died yesterday. If I remember correctly, he was one of the inspirations for the song, Beautiful Child.

Stevie comment about Frey in 1981:

STEVIE NICKS: When I was going out with Don, it was five years ago and I was much less busy, Fleetwood Mac was much less popular, we were just beginning. When I was with Lindsey, we lived together and were famous. It was the opposite extreme. I’ll never forget the day I was up at Don’s house having dinner with him and his manager, Irving Azoff, who is now my manager five years later, and Glenn Frey of the Eagles walked in and looked at me and said, "Spoiled yet." Like no mention of Fleetwood Mac. I was not even in the league of a singer. I was nothing more than a girl. My claws went out and I wanted to get out of there.

HIGH TIMES: I don’t know him well, but that sounds typical of Glenn Frey.

STEVIE NICKS: He’s witchy! And I love Glenn, and that was a long time ago. That was my first taste of what it was like to be a happening girl rock and roll singer. Going out with a very famous man rock and roll singer and have people not relate to me like I even had a job. I went out with John David Souther for a while, who is very, very, very male chauvinistic and very sweet and cute and wonderful but very Texas, and I found when I was with him, I didn’t mention Fleetwood Mac ever. It didn’t help my status with the man to bring up anything I did, so I didn’t. And then you start saying, "But I work too. I’m happening. I write songs, but you aren’t giving me a break."

Without sounding crass, a "youngin'" posted on FB earlier, that Stevie used to "bang" Frey. I wrote, "I'm almost certain that you're wrong, it was Henley and Walsh". Yet he insisted that she was doing Frey, too. Am I wrong? I've always tried to keep track of her...well, somewhat. There's no sexual history between SN and Frey, RIGHT????

That Bowie exit was amazing. I mean, they were already going to do a tribute for him here in Echo Park just because of the new album release on his birthday. They didn't know he was sick when it was organized. He planned it that way and, obviously, it was important for him to leave fresh new art behind in his wake. People were talking about his new music just days before they had to mourn his legacy.

Sorry but I just want to cross post this piece with Glenn and the girls inducting Linda Ronstadt into the hall a fame from the other Glenn Frey thread.

Has anybody heard or read anything if Linda or her PR person made a statement on this. I feel for her.

Another legend gone

R.I.P.

So sad. David Bowie and Glenn fry are two of my favorite musicians. Eagles are my other favorite band. The reality of it is, this is only going to keep happening. This makes me that much more grateful I got to see Christine.

Really sad that Glenn is gone, what a great talent.

Not to sound rude, but was never a fan of Bowie, however I respect him as an artist. RIP.

It certainly feels like the end of an era. I hope that there are a few young and original artists who can keep creating something interesting in the future. But I don't know if they'll ever achieve the same 'legendary' status previous performers did.

I can see Stevie moving into a 'mentoring' role. Well, she already does that. Even though she didn't have her own children, she seems like she has a maternal side and has become an inspiration for young performers.
