From the Eagles official FB page:
Quote:
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of our comrade, Eagles founder, Glenn Frey, in New York City on Monday, January 18th, 2016.
Glenn fought a courageous battle for the past several weeks but, sadly, succumbed to complications from Rheumatoid Arthritis, Acute Ulcerative Colitis and Pneumonia.
The Frey family would like to thank everyone who joined Glenn to fight this fight and hoped and prayed for his recovery.
Words can neither describe our sorrow, nor our love and respect for all that he has given to us, his family, the music community & millions of fans worldwide.

I am actually wondering if all this happening might make some artists who are veterans think about slowing down, and spending more time with close friends and family.
I've lost so many of my faves from the 70s era. Seem very few left now except for the obvious perennials. Many of the deaths have been from accidents or illness, not lifestyle factors.
