" "Saturday Night" - when you hear that harmony, it's still mind-boggling how truly wonderful it is. His voice sounded great," Seger remembers. Seger and Frey last saw each other in July, at an Eagles concert in Detroit, Mich. "He was in a great mood. "About a month ago, they had to throw up their hands." Irving pulled every ace out of the hole - he had the eight best specialists working on Glenn."īut with the seriousness of Frey's conditions, the doctors finally gave up. "They were trying like hell to keep him alive . They'd put him back into the coma," Seger recounts. "He was in a coma, and he'd come out, but then he couldn't breathe. Long time friend and fellow peer Bob Seger tells the Detroit Free Press that he received word from Don Henley in November that Frey was at the Columbia University Medical Center in New York City, suffering from a bout of pneumonia, as well as complications from rheumatoid arthritis and acute ulcerative colitis. The surgery marked a steep decline in Frey's health. Last year in November, Frey underwent "major surgery" due to his long-standing intestinal issues. Frey had been abusing his body for years with drugs and alcohol and his health was already on the decline since the 80s. Though Frey's death had shocked fans, but to those who knew him, they knew that his death was forthcoming. Glenn Frey of the pop-rock group the Eagles passed away on January 18th.
