Glenn's Health

[Glennsallnighter]

Sadly this probably explains why Glenn has been so quiet of late. A number of us have been worried and it seems with justification.

Of course I'm sure Eagles fans everywhere join with myself and the other Borderers in sending every good wish to Glenn for successful treatment and a speedy recovery.

I will repeat what I said in the Kennedy Centre thread which is to send him all the best wishes & hopes for a full & swift recovery that I can. How awful to hear of this just before his birthday. Glenn, please take care of yourself.

wishing Glenn a successful surgery and recovery...poor guy...

[sodascouts]

Poor thing. I'll be praying for him!

[Brooke]

Me too! Good luck, Glenn! Your fans love you!

Oh man. I'm glad that the Honors can be postponed. I wish Glenn the best, and hope that he has a quick and full recovery.

[EasilyTaken]

High hopes for a full bounce back to health, Mr. Frey.

I'll be praying for him as well! I was just thinking the other day that he must have gotten over his major intestinal ailments as it has been 20 years since his last surgery. So sorry to hear this.

I have a query about this:

An attempt to reform the Eagles in 1990 was put off, in part, because of surgery to remove a large part of Frey’s intestine.

To my knowledge the first surgery had been in the late 80s (as the Post states, 1986). I thought the reunion failed because Glenn was unimpressed with the other Eagles' supposed reasons for reforming (money). Felder basically confirms this (Eliot claims Henley vetoed the reunion). I was unaware that Glenn had surgery that year. Felder states he had surgery in 1993 (and then again in 1994; I had to wait until 1995 before seeing them for the first time).

*NB Soda or Dreamer, move this to the Glenn's Health thread if you think it's more appropriate; it is just that the longer article appears in this thread so I posted here.

I thought that he was hospitalized with a bout of diverticulitis before any of his surgeries. This would have been when he was supposed to perform with Don (& one or more of the other Eagles I think) at a charity event. Glenn made a remote appearance from his hospital room explaining why he wasn't there. Would this have been 1986? I understood that his first surgery was around 1989. He was unable to do much promotion for Soul Searchin' because of it. He claimed in one interview that he was out of commission for a year.

I believed that his second surgery was in 1994 when the Eagles had to postpone part of the HFO tour until he recovered. I would have to do some research to as to dates & details. I may be mistaken about these statements.
