Crazy. I always like "One Track Mind" even though its not their best work. And Philthy Animal just died in November. Didn't know that. Clarke is the last member of the classic lineup.
 
Cheers Lemmy!

The Eagles' Glenn Frey dead at 67

The Eagles' Glenn Frey dead at 67 - CNN.com
(CNN)Glenn Frey, a founding member of the rock band the Eagles, has died at 67, a publicist for the band has confirmed.
"Glenn fought a courageous battle for the past several weeks but, sadly, succumbed to complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia," reads a post on the band's official website.
Frey had been suffering from intestinal issues, which caused the postponement of the band's inclusion in the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors.
Frey and the other original members of the Eagles — Don Henley, Randy Meisner and Bernie Leadon -- came together to form singer Linda Ronstadt's backup band in the early 1970s.
They were all experienced musicians who forged a laid-back, country-tinged sound that the Eagles would eventually make famous.

This belated a bit.
Very sad news to report, as founding Vixen guitarist Jan Kuehnemund passed away from cancer at the age of 51 on Thursday, Oct. 10.

Kuehnemund formed the all-girl band Vixen in 1980 when she was still in high school, showing off her rock prowess at an early age. The band was signed to EMI in 1988 and released their platinum selling debut self-titled disc that same year. 'Vixen' spawned two smash hit singles, with 'Edge of a Broken Heart' and 'Cryin' making them a force to be reckoned with in the male-dominated industry. The band would go on to release two more studio albums during the late '80s and early '90s.

That's very sad; he was only 57. A musical prodigy, he could play many different instruments, but as eccentric as... well, someone very eccentric.
