yeah several places posted it on the anniversary of his death as if it just happened. A friend sent me this one this morning and before my coffee I totally fell for it-- it does say 1 year ago but also splashes 'Breaking News' across his photo..

For What It's Worth is the song she wrote for him. BC was for the Beatles guy.

Thank you for the correction.

I feel very lucky to have been born in 1962. The best music of last century occurred in my youth. At age 18 in 1980 I was lucky enough to see a triple bill of The Eagles, Heart & The Little River Band performing in the Yale Bowl all in their prime.

I agree 100 percent.Great era .I never got to see any of them.
at that time was probably seeing Kenny Rogers and other great true country artists and bands then.

Agreed. I've seen so many amazing concerts. And for low amounts of money. I'm glad I'm old.

I saw Christine at a bar in Cleveland. One of the best shows I've ever seen in my life. Then I saw Lindsey at a bar in Cleveland and he sweated all over me when he shook his head. lol

Most definitely. We've been very lucky. Live music (and great albums) were accessible and affordable and all around us.

We have a wonderful local program on NPR that plays great new music by both new and older artists as well as a variety of other cool things. They did a beautiful tribute to David Bowie, and last night, they announced Glenn Frey's passing and played a few of his songs. The dj then said, as sad as it is, that those of us who were lucky enough to grow up in that glorious heyday will probably get our share of heartbreaking news in the coming months. I realize it's possible that everyone will live into their late 90s, and I hope they do, but we all really did have a lot of GREAT singers and musicians in our lives, and it's very much like a huge extended family, so it's really painful when we get this news.

So sad to hear that Glenn Frey passed away. Always loved him and The Eagles. I regret not ever seeing them live when they were in LA at The Forum in 2014.
Another one of Stevie's ~"Poet, Priest and Legend"~ Rest in Peace Glenn. :angel:

These are people .....Humans they have given & given....
Decades maybe now it's time for them to give......
Time , a precious commodity......to themselves
Friends, family.......
They have Just given a world wide tour......
Do You not think maybe they deserve a vacation
To read to relax to enjoy their. Time with things& people
That come second to the recording, the touring.
It takes more than you know out of them.
They are all young at heart.....
All have other dreams/projects on the back burner......
While they are able ... They should now be as selfish as they want with their Time......
It belongs to them.....
They have enjoyed loved succedded at what they set out to do...yet now ....maybe just maybe ......
They have other gifts other dreams to pursue......
I hate Hearing all this pushing to get them to record.....if they really really want that , it will happen.
Otherwise be grateful for all these decades & that they are all with us & still preforming.
That itself is Amazing!

Let me guess, you never took another shower again.:laugh::xoxo:

I wasn't gay yet.. wink wink

Was Frey in the hospital for treatment for colitis? Did I read that somewhere last week? If so, he must have had colitis issues for decades. Remember the Get Tough on Toxics concert in Long Beach in 1986? It was an Eagles reunion of sorts: Glenn couldn't attend because he was in the hospital with a colitis problem, so he was beamed in live via video.

Yes, they said colitis with ulcers and pneumonia.

Michele

Also rheumatoid arthritis, and apparently some of the medications used to treat arthritis and colitis have immune-suppressing effects, making pneumonia more difficult to fend off and treat. Terrible combination.

I dont know if this was posted here.The freaking side effects will kill you.

Eagles Manager Claims Glenn Frey’s Death was Caused by Arthritis Medication

“He died from complications of ulcer and colitis after being treated with drugs for his rheumatoid arthritis which he had for over 15 years.” January 21, 2016 6:32 PM

By Jeff Cornell

Irving Azoff, longtime manager of The Eagles has revealed Glenn Frey‘s death was caused in part by medications he took to fight rheumatoid arthritis. The iconic singer and songwriter passed away at the age of 67 on Monday (Jan. 18), due to “complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia.”

Azoff told TheWrap that the medications prescribed to Frey can lead to “disaster.” “The colitis and pneumonia were side effects from all the meds,” he said. “He died from complications of ulcer and colitis after being treated with drugs for his rheumatoid arthritis which he had for over 15 years.”


TheWrap reports that the medications for rheumatoid arthritis or ulcerative colitis can compromise the immune system’s ability to fight off pneumonia.

Glenn Frey is best known for co-writing some of The Eagles’ biggest songs including “Taking It Easy,” “Heartache Tonight” and “New Kid in Town,” as well as solo hits like “The Heat is On” and “Smuggler’s Blues.” .

That must have been so amazing. I'm so jealous of those of you that got to experience this music in it's prime, when it was the current music. I'm in my late 20s and I do love being a 90s kid, but I often wish I got to experience youth in the 70s and 80s, you guys had the best music. Today's music is garbage.
