Glenn Frey passed away Monday at the age of 67.

 

He helped to create on of the most-loved rock bands of all time, The Eagles.

 

Frey passed away in New York from complications from rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, and pneumonia.

 

Frey and Eagles co-founder Don Henley had homes in the Aspen area for a while. The group got their start during a month-long stint at Aspen’s Gallery Club in 1971.

 

Frey performed at Jazz Aspen Snowmass Labor Day Experience with Joe Walsh in 2010.

 

In a statement released Monday, Henley said, "words can neither describe our sorrow, nor our love and respect for all that he has given to us, his family, the music community and millions of fans worldwide.”
