The Most Heartbreaking Celebrity Deaths Of 2016

Glenn Frey

The world seemed a little quieter on January 18, 2016, the day that we lost beloved Eagles singer and musician Glenn Frey to pneumonia, colitis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Following the singer’s passing, details about the medication used to treat the disease of arthritis came to light and led to the partial blaming of Frey’s end, according to manager Irving Azoff.

With his start in the industry and destined musical path behind Ronstadt, Browne and Souther, Frey, Henley, Meisner and Leardon were brought together in ’71 as back up musicians. Just one year later, they became the Eagles and released their first album; the rest was history. Rest in peace, Glenn.
