NEW YORK — Glenn Frey, who co-founded the Eagles and with Don Henley became one of history's most successful songwriting teams with such hits as "Hotel California" and "Life in the Fast Lane," has died.
Frey was 67 and had been battling multiple ailments. He died Monday. The band's website says he died in New York.
Guitarist Frey and drummer Henley formed the Eagles in Los Angeles in the early 1970s, along with guitarist Bernie Leadon and bassist Randy Meisner. They would become a top act over the next decade, embodying the melodic California sound.
An Eagles greatest hits collection from the mid-1970s and "Hotel California" are among the best-selling albums in history.
Frey's solo hits include "The Heat Is On" and "Smuggler's Blues."

No! They got it all wrong! "It's Don Henley must die, put him in an electric chair with Glenn Frey"!
What good are decades long plans when the jugheads you send to carry them out get it backwards?

Back in the mid-90's, Mojo had a show on WLW at 10 p.m. Friday nights called "Mojo Nixon's House Party". He rode that blasting signal loud and proud from the East Coast to the Rockies. He once told me WLW was forced to move him to their FM affiliate due to complaints from across the Midwest about "That damned Hillbilly on 700".
