    The Eagles’ guitarist and founding member Glenn Frey has died, as TMZ reports. He was 67.

    According to a post on the band’s Facebook page, which you can see below, Frey succumbed to “complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia.”

    Frey had undergone intestinal surgery in late 2015, which caused a Kennedy Center tribute of the band to be delayed until later this year.

    The Eagles confirmed Frey’s passing on Facebook, stating:

    It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of our comrade, Eagles founder, Glenn Frey, in New York City on Monday, January 18th, 2016.
    Glenn fought a courageous battle for the past several weeks but, sadly, succumbed to complications from Rheumatoid Arthritis, Acute Ulcerative Colitis and Pneumonia.
    The Frey family would like to thank everyone who joined Glenn to fight this fight and hoped and prayed for his recovery.
    Words can neither describe our sorrow, nor our love and respect for all that he has given to us, his family, the music community & millions of fans worldwide.

    The post goes on to quote the lyrics of “It’s Your World Now,” a song Frey co-wrote with songwriter Jack Tempchin:

    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 are apart
    You’ll always 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
    Use 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

    RIP Glen
