Randy Meisner, bassist and founding member of the band EAGLES, died on Wednesday July 26, 2023 from complications related to a lung disease. He was 77 years old.

He had left the group at the end of the 1977 tour. Excluded from the reunion tour in 1994, he had however appeared alongside his former comrades in 1998 for the group's introduction to the Rock'n'roll Hall of Fame. . He should also have joined the EAGLES on the 2013 world tour, but his health problems prevented him from doing so.




The Eagles are sad to report that founding member, bassist, and vocalist, Randy Meisner, passed away last night (July 26) in Los Angeles at age 77, due to complications from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD).
As the original bass player for the pioneering country-rock group, Poco, Randy was at the forefront of the musical revolution that began in Los Angeles, in the late 1960s. 
In 1971, Randy, along with Glenn Frey, Don Henley, and Bernie Leadon, formed the Eagles and contributed to the band's albums, Eagles, Desperado, On The Border, One of These Nights, and Hotel California. He was inducted with the Eagles into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
“Randy was an integral part of the Eagles and instrumental in the early success of the band. His vocal range was astonishing, as is evident on his signature ballad, ‘Take It to the Limit,’” said the Eagles.
Prior to Poco, he was bassist and vocalist with Rick Nelson’s Stone Canyon Band.
Randy was born on March 8, 1946, in Scottsbluff, Nebraska.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

Hotel California (1976)
5/5
Mythical album thanks to its title track, "Hotel California" draws the bitter conclusion of the American way of life with chiselled pop-rock melodies.
