New light is being shed on the medical conditions that contributed to Eagles co-founder Glenn Frey’s death, with a medical expert telling TheWrap that the medications prescribed for Frey’s conditions can lead to “disaster.”
Frey died Monday at age 67. According to the band’s website, the singer and songwriter “succumbed to complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia.”
The group’s manager, Irving Azoff, told TheWrap that Frey’s medications played a part in his death
“The colitis and pneumonia were side effects from all the meds,” Azoff said. “He died from complications of ulcer and colitis after being treated with drugs for his rheumatoid arthritis which he had for over 15 years.”
