Glenn Frey, a founding member and guitarist of the Eagles, has died ... TMZ has learned.

Frey had been battling intestinal issues for months and had surgery in November. We're told in the last few days his condition took a turn for the worse.

Glenn co-wrote and sang most of the Eagles hits, including "Take It Easy," "Tequila Sunrise," "Lyin' Eyes," and "Heartache Tonight," to name a few. He also co-wrote "Hotel California" and "Desperado" with Don Henley and took home 6 Grammys with the band.

After the Eagles' 1980 breakup, Glenn launched a successful solo career, recording numerous hits ... most notably "The Heat Is On" and "You Belong to the City."

Glenn also got into acting, snagging a recurring role on "Miami Vice."

He reunited with the Eagles in '94 for their monster Hell Freezes Over tour and recorded music till the end, releasing what would be his fifth and final solo LP, "After Hours," in 2012.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer had been fighting intestinal issues for awhile but his condition relapsed before the holidays, forcing the Eagles to pull out of their Kennedy Center Honors appearance in December. At the time, the band said he needed major surgery that would require a lengthy recovery.

Glenn was 67. RIP.

Damn, another one gone.
'Smuggler's Blues', 'The Heat is On' (from the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack) and 'You Belong to the City' (sampled by Jay-Z) were some of my favorite songs from the 80s.
And of course, almost everything from The Eagles.
RIP

I will never forget when he performed at the halftime show out here at the AAA in Miami vs Indy a few years back, I thought DJ Irie or someone was playing songs on the jumbotron from Miami Vice, while I was at the concession stand.

I just watched the Eagle's documentary (think it was on Showtime) a couple months back... didn't know Fry was a co-leader of the band... always thought Don Henley was the leader by himself. When he put out Smuggler's Blues and they made a Miami Vice episode kinda based on it, I had no idea at the time how huge this dude was. R.I.P.

"You Belong to the City" song help changed my life. I was listening to the song and realized it was a reflection of my life in the mid 80's, I was slowly getting sucked into the drug game. I said fuck this and went into the military.
