I agree that fans are concerned & would like to know how it went.

I hope they were talking about before he had the surgery!

It is a new year.

Sorry to read about Glenn's health problems. I join the rest of you in wishing him all the best & a speedy recovery.

So this article clarifies what had been going on for the last few months. Reading it does it say that Frey was in a Coma for over a month and that a month ago doctors pretty much gave up? Am I understanding that correctly?

“First, he caught one set of pneumonia, then he caught a very virulent set of pneumonia. He was in a coma, and he’d come out, but then he couldn’t breathe. They’d put him back in a coma,” Seger said. “About a month ago, they had to throw up their hands.”

I think you've got it right, OM. Sounds like he went through a very bad time.

I agree Brooke. I'm thinking that he must have been placed in a coma sometime in November. I wonder if Glenn was already in a coma when they announced the need for the surgery? It's just so hard to take in. Just a few months before, he looked fine and healthy at the last few HOTE shows.

ETA: It's amazing that you take medicine for a condition, and the side effects of it party causes your death. I don't know about any other Americans, but I won't be able to take seeing those tv ads for medicines.

Its sad what Glenn went through these last 2 months. It could had been longer before it got worse in November.

We were soo worried about Glenn when we didn't hear anything and then bam!!! He's gone.

And Glenn was getting "the best" medical care. It stopped me in my tracks to read Azoff's comments in the L.A. Times that the meds for arthritis caused Glenn's previous ulcer and colitis issues to recur (if I understood correctly) and ultimately led to his death. Tragic.

I can only imagine what Glenn was enduring through that last, long tour. I noticed at the Miami show in July he had some of his fingers wrapped and it made me wonder if he suffered from arthritis (as many guitarists do). You just never know what people are going through.
