    Glenn Frey also had some success as a solo artist in the 1980s after the Eagles broke up. But when they reunited at their first live performance in April 1994, Frey stated, "For the record, we never broke up. We just took a 14-year vacation."

    Frey was born in Detroit, Michigan and was raised in the suburbs. His solo hits include "The Heat Is On'' and "Smuggler's Blues.''
    弗雷出生在密歇根州底特律市并在郊区长大。他的独唱歌曲包括《The Heat Is On》以及《Smuggler's Blues》。

    弗雷留下了他的妻子辛迪和三个孩子。音乐家们都发布消息表达对弗雷的爱和感谢。佛利伍麦克合唱团的史蒂薇·妮克丝(Stevie Nicks)写道,眼泪模糊了她的双眼。她说,“弗雷先生,一路走好!”
