So says TMZ, and many other sites picking it up.

 

I'm not a big Eagles fan, but was this expected?

WOW!!!

Seems as if it's not a hoax. It's up on the band's official website.

Well that sucks.

[Mack The Knife]

The reason they didn't accept their Kennedy Centers Honor was because of Frey's illness. The band will be honored next year.

Boy, the celebrities are dropping quickly so far in 2016

Floored. Saw them at Rupp last year. Seemed like they would go another 10 years.

This one really stings. This was my favorite band back in the day.

Somewhere in Heaven Birdsfan is dancing to Glenn's tunes with a small, personal gig for BF. He so loved Glenn and the Eagles!

Hate to hear this. Saw them at Rupp in July. He seemed in top form then.

[Jumper_Dad]

I hate to hear this...I always liked Frey

Dang. Saw them twice way back in the day; once at Morehead (they appeared a few weeks later on Midnight Special wearing Morehead (Eagles) t-shirts. Saw them a couple years later in Landover, Maryland with Linda Ronstadt. Restricted view (actually really decent seats, a bit behind the stage) tickets were 7 bucks a pop. Those were the days.

 

RIP.

Sad day. Frey has been in and out of poor health for a while now. Years of drug abuse took their toll.

 

I don't foresee the Eagles ever performing again.
