Bruce Springsteen has honoured the recently departed Glenn Frey with a cover of The Eagles‘ seventies Americana groove ‘Take It Easy‘ during a show in Chicago.
Fan footage has been put up on YouTube and can be seen below.
Frey died on January 18th at the age of 67, and was remembered in a heartfelt statement posted by his bandmate Don Henley who said:
“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.”
