username Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) 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. Cindy Frey | Taylor Frey | Deacon Frey | Otis Frey Don Henley | Joe Walsh | Timothy B. Schmit | Bernie Leadon | Irving Azoff Its Your World Now Written by Glenn Frey and Jack Tempchin From the Eagles Long Road Out of Eden album A perfect day, the sun is sinkin low As evening falls, the gentle breezes blow The time we shared went by so fast Just like a dream, we knew it couldnt last But Id do it all again If I could, somehow But I must be leavin soon Its your world now Its your world now My race is run Im moving on Like the setting sun No sad goodbyes No tears allowed Youll be alright Its your world now Even when we are apart Youll always be in my heart When dark clouds appear in the sky Remember true love never dies But first a kiss, one glass of wine Just one more dance while theres still time My one last wish: someday, youll see How hard I tried and how much you meant to me Its your world now Use well your time Be part of something good Leave something good behind The curtain falls I take my bow Thats how its meant to be Its your world now Its your world now Its your world nowhttp://eagles.com/news/266763 Man... The greats are dropping like flies! Absolutely loved Frey and the Eagles! I feel lucky to have seen them live twice. Edited January 18, 2016 by username 2 Quote
Len Cnut Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 It's a shit year to be a rock fan eh? Can't say i ever liked The Eagles...in fact I have been consistent in my derision of them...but all that stuff is just silliness really, sad that he's dead, bless him, rest well sir. Quote
gunsfanoldie Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Super sad.Wasn't even an Eagles fan till I saw the documentary a few years ago. I knew the hits, but saw the doc and explored the rest of the music. I was blown away when I discovered great stuff like Chug All Night, Tryin', Nightingale, Out Of Control, Certain Kind Of Fool, You Never Cry Like A Lover, James Dean, On The Border, Visions, and so on and so on. GREAT great songs that I was sad I just discovered.I know Glenn was a dick, but he made some great music. I KNEW I should have seen them on the last tour with Bernie, but I thought I had just become a fan and it was too much to spend on a band like that. Had I been a fan for years, I probably would have, but I just felt like I was getting swept up in the recent doc, which was amazing for those that haven't seen it. Thats what a Guns documentary should be like if they ever make one. Now I really wish I saw them.Very sad and very sudden despite him being sick. Quote
ZoSoRose Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I literally just saw them in july, he seemed fine Quote
Tom2112 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I only got into The Eagles a few years back, just missing the chance of seeing them live (thanks to bastard ticket scalpers hiking the resale price) on that last European run. Great songwriter. RIP and I'm assuming RIP The Eagles Quote
IndiannaRose Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 What in the name of fuck. Rest in peace, Glenn. Quote
RussTCB Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Jesus jumped up Christ. This has GOT to stop.RIP Glenn. Quote
SunnyDRE Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Never got the appeal of The Eagles and don't think I ever will.Still respect them though... Quote
grouse Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Shit year to be a rock fan? yup but it's not because of all the big names passing it's just a hell of a lot people that are realising that they really are somewhat a product of their generation and they are getting old, nevertheless I do agree that this one puts me down as well. Just like Scott/Lemmy/bowie etc. Quote
RussTCB Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Never got the appeal of The Eagles and don't think I ever will.Still respect them though...Same here. Never a big fan at all, but I respect the hell out of them. Quote
MB. Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Oh wow. I just saw a whole documentary about the Eagles.I don't really like them, but they had a few nice songs. Like the others above, have a whole lot respect for them.RIP Quote
axlslash Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Can't stand the Eagles, but sucks to lose another giant. Seeing Bruce Springsteen tomorrow night. The question is not if, but what Eagles tune the E Street Band will turn out. Quote
Georgy Zhukov Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Are you kidding me? Glenn Fry? Come on. R.I.P. Such a great loss. 1 Quote
gunsfanoldie Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Can't stand the Eagles, but sucks to lose another giant. Seeing Bruce Springsteen tomorrow night. The question is not if, but what Eagles tune the E Street Band will turn out.He just recently played with Jackson Browne, covering Take It Easy with him. I'd say thats a strong contender. Personally, I think he could sing the fuck out of Already Gone, but thats just me. Those would be my two guesses. Quote
HOOSIER GUNZ Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 saw this about two hour ago and thought that this "gnr thing" needs to really get its wheels rollin' along. I saw where del twitted the other day somethin' like...deaths appetite needs to slow the fuck down a little...that's no shit.take it easy glenn. hope your star shines bright in the southern sky tonight...

Graeme Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) I'm gutted, they wrote beautiful, poignant songs that had an essence of adventure and while there were so many talented voices and presences in that band, Glenn's was a stand-out. I discovered them properly in my teens and they were definitely a big part of the soundtrack to my life when I was discovering my own independence, sense of exploration and love. I always wanted to see them live, but I was out of Scotland both times they came here, in 2009 I was in Portugal and in 2014 I was in Mexico. As soon as I heard the news, I recorded this wee video, it seemed like the only thing I could do to be honest. RIP Glenn. Edited January 19, 2016 by Graeme 3 Quote
classicrawker Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 This really sad new....I am big fan of pre Hotel California Eagles albums as their early albums are brilliant IMHO......RIP Glenn.... Quote
Ghostie Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 This will always be on of my favorite commercials, even though it's a sell out of sorts. Take care, Glenn. Quote
shjtjustgotreal Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 i have a bad fucking feeling about 2016 man TT___TT Quote
