The world of music lost another legend today.Glenn Frey of the legendary rock band, The Eagles, has passed away after battling with intestinal problems. He was 67.

Frey played a huge role in the band as a writer, guitarist, and  vocalist on many of the Eagles biggest hits, including "Hotel California," "Lyin' Eyes," and "Heartache Tonight," to name a few.

Frey, along with the Eagles, had songs that were later covered by country artists. "Take It Easy" was a huge Eagles hit that was remade by Travis Tritt, and even featured the Eagles singing background vocals. "Desperado," of course, was covered by Clint Black to become one of the biggest hits of his career.

 

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of our comrade, Eagles founder, Glenn Frey, in New York...
