Randy Meisner dead at 77

RIP Randy Meisner! The Eagle from here in Nebraska passed away I think I saw from emphysema.

"A shy Nebraskan torn between fame and family life, Meisner had been ill and homesick during the “Hotel California” tour (his first marriage was breaking up) and was reluctant to have the spotlight for “Take It to the Limit,” a showcase for his nasally tenor."

Very sad. All the fame in the world won't necessarily make you happy. RIP...

He didn't commit suicide. He died of heart disease. Complications from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. COPD.

That was my favorite version of the Eagles. Randy was a terrific singer.

I didn't get the reference to suicide either. I hadn't seen "heart disease" either but that wouldn't be surprising given his years of COPD. My OP had said "emphysema".

That was my favorite version of the Eagles. Randy was a terrific singer.

He could sing the high notes and play the low notes. Try To Love Again was my favorite of his songs.
