Just days after receiving news of the unexpected passing of David Bowie, the Rock world was shaken again by the death of another major musician. Glenn Frey of the Eagles died Monday (1/18) in New York City where he had been being treated for Pneumonia in addition to complications related to Acute Ulcerative Colitis and Rheumatiod Arthritis. The 67 year old Frey's health issues had prompted the Eagles to respectfully request that the Kennedy Center Honor the band was due to receive this year be deferred until next year in anticipation that the guitarist would be in better health and able to attend. Sadly, the addition of Pneumonia to the other ailments Frey was waging dealing with created a health tsunami not even some of the top health providers in the country could pull him through. In acknowledging the loss of their band mate the Eagles site quoted lyrics from a song Frey and Jack Tempchin co-wrote.
A perfect day, the sun is sinkin' low
As evening falls, the gentle breezes blow
The time we shared went by so fast
Just like a dream, we knew it couldn't last
But I'd do it all again
If I could, somehow
But I must be leavin' soon
It's your world now
It's your world now
My race is run
I'm moving on
Like the setting sun
No sad goodbyes
No tears allowed
You'll be alright
It's your world now
Even When we're apart
You'll alwasy be in my heart
When dark clouds appear in the sky
Remember true love never dies
But first a kiss, one glass of wine
Just one more dance while there's still time
My one last wish: someday, you'll see
How hard I tried and how much you meant to me
It's your world now
Used well your time
Be part of something good
Leave something good behind
The curtain falls
I take my bow
That's how it's meant to be
It's your world now
It's your world now
It's your world now
