DON HENLEY谈GLENN FREY
他像我的兄弟，我们犹如家人；我们和大部分家庭一样，也有争拗。不过，我们45年前建立的关系，就算在乐队解散14年之间也没有间断过。
当年两个年青人怀着相同的梦想到洛杉矶朝圣；我们在音乐业界留下印记，过程中我们努力不懈、热爱音乐。我们与其他音乐人及经理人Irving Azoff紧密合作，缔造比我们想像中更历久不衰成就。不过一切都始于Glenn。他是让事情发生的火花，计划一切。他有如一本流行音乐的百科全书，对工作态度始终如一。他为人风趣、顽固、反复无常、慷慨、有才华、有动力。妻子和儿女为他一生最爱。
我们都感到很震惊、难以置信，十分伤痛。历时两年的“Eagles历史巡回演唱会”去年7月方才完满结束，现在他离开了我们。我并不太相信命运，但我知道1970年遇上Glenn Frey后，我的生命永远改变了，地球上数百万人的生命也受到影响。在一个没有他的世界走下去，将会很奇怪。然而，我每一天都会很感恩，他曾经在我的人生出现过。我的兄弟，安息吧。你的成就远多于你亲手建立的一切。
-Don Henley

DON HENLEY ON GLENN FREY
“He was like a brother to me; we were family, and like most families, there was some dysfunction. But, the bond we forged 45 years ago was never broken, even during the 14 years that the Eagles were dissolved.
We were two young men who made the pilgrimage to Los Angeles with the same dream: to make our mark in the music industry — and with perseverance, a deep love of music, our alliance with other great musicians and our manager, Irving Azoff, we built something that has lasted longer than anyone could have dreamed. But, Glenn was the one who started it all. He was the spark plug, the man with the plan. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of popular music and a work ethic that wouldn’t quit. He was funny, bullheaded, mercurial, generous, deeply talented and driven. He loved his wife and kids more than anything.
We are all in a state of shock, disbelief and profound sorrow. We brought our two-year “History of the Eagles Tour” to a triumphant close at the end of July and now he is gone. I’m not sure I believe in fate, but I know that crossing paths with Glenn Lewis Frey in 1970 changed my life forever, and it eventually had an impact on the lives of millions of other people all over the planet. It will be very strange going forward in a world without him in it. But, I will be grateful, every day, that he was in my life. Rest in peace, my brother. You did what you set out to do, and then some.”
