The members of FM are at ages on either side of both of these guys.

I'm sure they are saddened by the loss of another one of their contemporaries, but I wonder if it makes them think more about their own mortality as it relates to getting projects (either band or solo) done sooner rather than later.

I know that may seem a bit selfish, as I and many others would really really love to get one more album out of this band, but I wonder if it makes them more motivated as well.

Seems a tad melodramatic, no? These people were fighting illness, not age. A 45 year old could get liver cancer (like Bowie) or pneumonia (like Glenn) similar to how a 90 year old can be the picture of health.
