The obituary read:

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.

Signed by band members Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, Bernie Leadon, Irving Azoff, and Frey's wife and kids the tribute ends with one The Eagles song co- written by Glenn Frey 'It's Your World Now'

A perfect day, the sun is sinkin' lowAs evening falls, the gentle breezes blowThe time we shared went by so fastJust like a dream, we knew it couldn't lastBut I'd do it all againIf I could, somehowBut I must be leavin' soonIt's your world now

It's your world nowMy race is runI'm moving onLike the setting sunNo sad goodbyesNo tears allowedYou'll be alrightIt's your world now

Even when we are apartYou'll always be in my heartWhen dark clouds appear in the skyRemember true love never dies

But first a kiss, one glass of wineJust one more dance while there's still timeMy one last wish: someday, you'll seeHow hard I tried and how much you meant to me

It's your world nowUse well your timeBe part of something goodLeave something good behindThe curtain fallsI take my bowThat's how it's meant to beIt's your world nowIt's your world nowIt's your world now
