Glenn Frey Eagles Guitarist Dead At 67

EXCLUSIVE

Glenn Frey, a founding member and guitarist of the Eagles, has died ... TMZ has learned.

We're told the cause of death was a combination of complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis, and pneumonia.

Frey had been battling intestinal issues for months and had surgery in November. We're told in the last few days his condition took a turn for the worse. He died in New York City.

Glenn co-wrote and sang on most of the Eagles hits, including "Take It Easy," "Tequila Sunrise," "Lyin' Eyes," and "Heartache Tonight," to name a few. He also co-wrote "Hotel California" and "Desperado" with Don Henley and took home 6 Grammys with the band.

After the Eagles' 1980 breakup, Glenn launched a successful solo career, recording numerous hits ... most notably "The Heat Is On" and "You Belong to the City."

Glenn also got into acting, snagging a recurring role on "Miami Vice."

He reunited with the Eagles in '94 for their monster Hell Freezes Over tour and recorded music till the end, releasing what would be his fifth and final solo LP, "After Hours," in 2012.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer had been fighting intestinal issues for awhile but his condition relapsed before the holidays, forcing the Eagles to pull out of their Kennedy Center Honors appearance in December. At the time, the band said he needed major surgery that would require a lengthy recovery.

Don Henley said, "He was like a brother to me; we were family, and like most families, there was some dysfunction. But the bond we forged 45 years ago was never broken. He added ... "We built something that has lasted longer than anyone could have dreamed. But Glenn was the one who started it all."

Glenn was 67. RIP.

Honestly, sad news..

[FORD]

Take it easy, Glenn

Sad to hear of yet another death of a musical icon.

I was always wishing I'd see him make amends with Don Felder, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner about how he fucked them out of tens of millions of dollars in band profits --- especially Felder who was an equal partner of "Eagles, Ltd." By the time the lucrative reunion tour hit in 1994, they all had plenty of money to live a pampered life and insure their families would be well taken care of until their dying years. Can't explain it except to say he was a greedy prick who loved money more than human decency and treating people with respect.

Burn in Hell, Glenn. Can't take it with you.

[DONNIEP]

This fuckin sucks. I'm goin home and watchin the Vice episode Smuggler's Blues

Presumably he must have made up with Bernie Leadon to some extent, since he was involved with the last Eagles tour. I don't think Meisner was involved, and Felder definitely was not.

Well, I guess one out of three ain't bad.

[WARF]

Satan is managing Hell's hottest new supergroup!

Bowie, Lemmy, Frey and Philthy Animal with the sticks!

I watched that Eagles documentary a couple years ago but I'm still not sure how Frey and Henley were able to fuck Felder out of an equal partnership that he was already a part of. Sure, Felder could've have told them "no" to rejoining the band in '94, but he would still have ownership of 1/3 of the band's profits from that tour and everything that came after.

Seems like Felder had bad (ie, cheap) lawyers representing him.

Felder was playing casino gigs as "Don Felder, Formerly of the Eagles"...

I have sort of a love-hate thing with them. As TJM says, they definitly loved money and I think they were one of the first reunion acts to from the 70's to reunite in the 90's and jack up ticket prices to the then unheard of sum of $100+++ a copy. I find that to be a bit sickening. And Felder is a great guitarist that plays circles around Walsh and they axed him. But, sorry to hear of his passing nonetheless. Like Bowie, largely unexpected...

[Kristy]

GAWD, they were the quintessential shit band of American rock. Fry, along with his cock-blocking buddy Henley put the fucking green in greed. Together, they alone incorporated rock upon which other burn outs like the Stones, Police, Who, and even Elvis Costello followed. The Eagles as a whole, but especially Fry were poor boy pussy hounds who wrote "sensitive" lyrics about wanting to gets their dicks wet. When that shit no longer worked (because it was so gawd damn ridiculous) they wrote about the excesses of the southern California lifestyle of drugs, more pussy and er...shoe fetishes..?

Fry was one moronic cunt of a rock star. He made the shit pussy pukes like Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon look good. Fry & Henley the 70's hippie dope-puffing, crab-infested pussy chasing, filthy denim wearing, gross long hair sporting, Tom Waits dick sucking 70's literally soul-sucked the life of out the late 90's (next to Sharon Osbourne). His solo albums were a mess. Thumb nose-fucking his fans with how wealthy he was by charging up to $600/ticket to see him sing 'Already Gone' and forget half the fucking words.

So fuck you, slave FORD for all the retarded, utterly uninspiring, irrelevant, and unasked for JewTube vid your sorry F A T slave ass is going to post. Beat you to it, asshole:



Maybe you can suck some Steely Dan dick later on when one of those sick fucks dies.

For fuck's sake Nick, if you're going to post here don't do it after you've been pegging your ass with an god damn iPod, okay?

~geesh!~

[FORD]

No, when those pukes die, I'll be throwing a party, because the world will truly be a better place.

[DONNIEP]

Hey now, easy on the Steely Dan crapping

[Nickdfresh]

For fuck's sake Nick, if you're going to post here don't do it after you've been pegging your ass with an god damn iPod, okay?

~geesh!~

His name is spelled "Frey", you THC-residued brain dead piss...

[Nickdfresh]

...

Naw, we'll have a party!

[Kristy]

Whatever. I'm glad these fucking dinosaurs are finally dying. They'll make for better fossil fuel in my car then they did records. I swear, I'll shit a brick of gold when Tom Petty, Neil Young, Mark Knopfler, or that theater fag Peter Gabriel dies. I don't mind who goes first, as long as they go.

[Jimmy Page]

Such an angry hermaphrodite you've grown to be. I am saddened.

Best,

JPP

[Kristy]

Oh, IS IT?

I was glad I did not know that. Way to ruin my day, dickface.

[DONNIEP]

I hope Bernie Sanders gives you the hiv

[DONNIEP]

Who wants to take bets on how long until Ed kicks off?

[DONNIEP]

Speaking of Ed, which washed up drunk musician is gonna toss a geetar in his box before they bury him?

[Kristy]

Ed can live. At least he contributed something to music. It's Roth I would love to see drop the fuck dead.

Yeah, so sacrilegious and I know how this insults your self-assured homoerotic love for the man but when one considers how Roth dresses like a Lennox furnace repair man, plays guitar like he's in group therapy, and sings like a dog about to be euthanized it's been way past his bedtime, too.

[Kristy]

...and the only upshot of the Eagles? At least they didn't have Micheal McDonald sing on one of their records.

[Nickdfresh]

Oh, IS IT?

I was glad I did not know that. Way to ruin my day, dickface.

How would I ruin one of your shitty days?

[Kristy]

Nick, it's no surprise you ruin everyone's day.

[DONNIEP]

I love me some Michael McDonald back up singing.

Don Henley just posted condolences on his Facebook wall and he mentions Irving Azoff but not Felder, Leadon, Meisner, Walsh, or Schmit.

Stay classy, Don!

[Kristy]

Wow! You can buy the NEW Don Henley album at participating Target stores! Well, fuck my ass with a snow shovel that's been shoveling quick dry concrete. What a deal.

[Von Halen]

I took this on one of the reunion tours. Fucking Walsh always making crazy faces.

Lemmy, Bowie and now Frey. Damn....

Steely Dan sucks almost as much ass as Blowie.

[Kristy]

Walsh Freyed his neurons on some good 70's acid. You'd think for a millionaire rock star he could afford a decent hair cut and some clothes he didn't dumpster dive for.

[Von Halen]

I don't care what anyone says, these motherfuckers knew how to harmonize. I like in the documentary when they show them back stage getting ready to go on, and they're warming up by singing "Seven Bridges Road". Sounds phenomenal.

[TJMKID]

You'd think for a millionaire rock star he could afford a decent hair cut and some clothes he didn't dumpster dive for.

Joe Walsh spent the entire 80's in a drunken stupor but still had millions in the bank and 19 yr. old strippers bouncing on his smeggy dick --- my kind of hero!

[Von Halen]

I took this in Columbus, OH. Glad I got to see them several times over the years. Really glad I got to see them when Felder was in the band too.

[Kristy]

That's was largely due to Timothy B. Schmit, their Botoxed/band feminist bass player who sang much better harmonies with his time in Poco.


TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMY

[Kristy]

Yeah, and he was drilling Drew Carey's F A T ass like it was an Oklahoma fracking site in the 90's. Now, that's rock 'n' roll!

TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMY

Is he a feminist? He always has seemed feminine, to me.

I think the version I posted above was before Timothy B though, wasn't it?

[Kristy]

Christ, Botox is a sin.

[Kristy]

Is he a feminist?

Yes.

I think the version I posted above was before Timothy B though, wasn't it?

Sounds like his harmony vocals.

[TJMKID]

Looks like Jim Carrey in about 2 or 3 years .... after finally realizing he's dated psychotic females his whole life

Christ, Botox is a sin.
