    Good morning, my sweet Borderers

    My husband pulled up in our driveway last night, I happened to be out there, and he put the window down and yelled, "Did Glenn Frey die?" I have to say it was a shock to me to hear that, but not a TOTAL shock, you know? We did know he was ill, and that one comment from the Glenn Health thread re: Kennedy Center that said, "He is very ill and needs our prayers" really got to me - even though it may have been anonymous. I don't think his status was a secret to those around him, Irving was the one working on getting the doctors, etc...

    Soda, I believe it was in one of the LA Times articles that Irving said Glenn never had the surgery, but I have to go back and check - I read that, as well, and it was from someone who would know - I'll find it for you.

    If not for Glenn, Nancy would not have poured her heart (and $$) into this site, and so many of us would not have had the enjoyment we've had these years. I am so grateful to him and will miss him so much. Soda, GA, FP, GH - all of you hardcore Glenn-lovers, I'm so sorry. Please know you can always come here and we will lift you up.

    It seems that Paul Stanley is a big Glenn fan. He wrote about Glenn's death on his Twitter page, and he wrote another, different tribute on the official KISS page. I love the Glenn photo they used for the latter:

    I have to say, this, from Irving, has tinges of "public" to it, no? - Is it too much to hope that fans could attend?

    “There will be a major memorial, and it will be in L.A.,” Azoff said. “The only thing the family and guys in the band ask is that we want to plan it right.”

    Thanks for the links, guys.

    This memorial Azoff speaks of... if it's open to the public, I will be there. I will tell them at work that I am going to a memorial service for a loved one, and it will be the absolute truth.

    Always in our hearts, Never forgotten

    I'm devastated, absolutely devastated to hear this. I went to bed early last night so I did not hear this terrible news until this morning. I was shocked and still can't quite believe it. I had to do an exam today as well, luckily it was in the afternoon which gave me some time to process this. From a personal point of view, apart from the sadness that I feel from Glenn's passing, it is now a deep regret of mine that I was never able to see the Eagles live.

    Some of the tributes so far have been wonderful, including some beautiful posts in this thread. I also found Stevie Nicks' brief comments especially moving. The tribute on the official website was lovely and I thought putting up the lyrics from It's Your Now World Now was perfect.

    There are so many great lyrics I could choose from that but I have just been listening to My Man and Bernie's words resonated more than ever now we have had to deal with the first loss in the band's history.

    Tell me the truth, how do you feel?
    Like you're rollin' so fast that you're spinnin' your wheels?
    Don't feel too bad, you're not all along
    We're all tryin' to get along
    With everybody else tryin' to go their way
    You're bound to get tripped, and what can you say?
    Just go along 'til they turn out the lights
    There's nothin' we can do to fight it

    No man's got it made till he's far beyond the pain
    And we who must remain go on living just the same

    I once knew a man, very talented guy
    He's sing for the people and people would cry
    They knew that his song came from deep down inside
    You could hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes

    And so he traveled along, touch your heart, then be gone
    Like a flower, he bloomed till that old hickory wind
    Called him home

    My man's got it made
    He's gone far beyond the pain
    And we who must remain go on living just the same
    We who must remain go on laughing just the same

    RIP Glenn Frey 1948-2016. I hope he is at peace and I just wish this day hadn't come so soon.

    I remember the time before the Hell Freezes Over Tour; when Glenn was ill; and the public was worried--it was such an ordeal for Eagles fans to think that Glenn's life could have been in the balance. It is now many years later, and Glenn has had so many vital years as an artist. I always thought he'd become older.

    After reading that Detroit Free Press Story, I'm back to crying. It seems like he suffered so much during the past few months.

    From Bob Seger:

    "First he caught one set of pneumonia, then he caught a very virulent set of pneumonia," Seger said. "They were trying like hell to keep him alive. He'd been at Columbia University Medical Center since November. (Eagles manager) Irving (Azoff) pulled every ace out of the hole — he had the eight best specialists working on Glenn. About a month ago, they had to throw up their hands."

    I haven't been on here for a while - but just had to drop in and share condolences on the tragic loss. I was fortunate to see the Eagles 5 times - once when my husband and I flew out to LA to see them a couple years ago, and the last time in Cincinnati in 2014 when we were lucky enough to get front row seats. They were in my home town of Dayton, Ohio just this past summer, but I didn't get to see them. They have been a part of my growing up years and well into my adult years. I now know why I saw my dad crying when Bing Crosby died. I feel the same way.

    RIP Glenn - and prayers of peace and understanding to all his family, friends and of course the rest of the band who will now have to live in this world without him.
