Glenn Frey (November 6, 1948 – January 18, 2016)
Glenn Fray was a musician who was well-known as being the lead singer of the band the Eagles. He publicly suffered from rheumatoid arthritis, which left his joints in pain since around the year 2000. In order to relieve this condition he took medication which ultimately led to a diagnosis of pneumonia and colitis. Soon after this, Frey was scheduled for surgery that was meant to relieve his intestinal problems, although this would require a considerable amount of time in order to recover.
To give him the time he needed to heal, the Eagles postponed their scheduled appearance at the Kennedy Center Honors. Unfortunately after Frey was put into a medically-induced coma after his surgery was complete, he passed away. The cause of death was officially named the result of complications from his rheumatoid arthritis as well as pneumonia and acute ulcerative colitis.
