Glenn Frey, Eagles guitarist, dies aged 67 in New York please log in to view this image Eagles guitarist Glenn Frey has died at the age of 67, the band has announced. He died in New York City on Monday from complications arising from rheumatoid arthritis, colitis and pneumonia. "Words can neither describe our sorrow, nor our love and respect for all that he has given to us," his family and fellow band members said. The Eagles were one of the most successful bands of the 1970s, with multiple hit singles including Hotel California, in 1976. Frey co-wrote Hotel California with singer Don Henley. He wrote a number of the band's biggest songs on his own, including Heartache Tonight and Lyin' Eyes. 2016 is turning into a very bad year for losing musical icons. The Eagles were a band I grew into appreciating. Not everyone's cup of tea but a band I have spent many hours listening to. Before ever appreciating The Eagles, The Heat Is On was one of my favourite tracks - though one of those that was more for the memories it invokes rather than the music itself.
This one really hurts, far more than Bowie. I can't begin to tell you what a fan I am of the Eagles. Horrible news. RIP Glen. I'll put up some of my fav songs some time tomorrow.
Appreciate sheer brilliance lads. Musical bliss. Musicians with actual talent. Remember those heady days?
I did like the Eagles for a while when I was a young un. Not really my cup of tea as I've got older, but, I still appreciate he was part of a legendary band, and that cant be bad. RIP...
