Re: Memorial for Glenn at The Forum 2/16/16
I always thought it would be at The Forum, given that Irving was making the arrangements and he'd said it was going to be big.

...and that James Dolan owns the Forum, I'm sure he was there. I'm hoping the Straight Shot did not provide music.

Isn't it weird that the only news source so far has been a radio station in Australia?

I totally agree that how the fans are feeling isn't a matter of importance at this time and shouldn't be a matter of concern. But, I hope they realize that we all feel his loss in ways we could never have imagined. With the lack of tributes in the media, Rolling Stone, the Grammys, etc, we need to hear SOMETHING moving about him! I know that I NEED to know that I'm really not crazy to feel this way. I would love to hear someone else close to him acknowledge that we are right to feel so devastated about this person we have never even met. I certainly don't mean to insinuate that his fans should ever be allowed to violate that inner sanctum of their private lives. I just hope they realize that the fans need to honor him and the impact he continues to have on our lives in some way too. I'm not suggesting a concert or memorial service necessarily. I would be happy to buy a dvd so I can cry in private too! Just my opinion.... :'(
Well said, MT. I feel exactly the same way too.

Re: Memorial for Glenn at The Forum 2/16/16
I've seen some other articles about it now on Twitter including this one from WCSX the classic rock station in Detroit who helped get Glenn Frey Drive passed. Has some details one who performed and were there.

LOL to Eaglets. All respect to them as many of the "Eaglets" are actually out of the nest and flying around. :)
MommaTee, so well stated and my thoughts exactly.
Re: Memorial for Glenn at The Forum 2/16/16
The Detroit Free Press had more about the memorial in their article on Glenn Frey Drive as they spoke with one of Glenn's cousins who still lives in Royal Oak and was at the memorial. Apparently Glenn's son Deacon started the memorial performing "Take it Easy", and Joe Walsh has written a new song for Glenn and performed it there.

Oh, how I'd love to hear Joe's new song that he sang at Glenn's memorial!
