Musicians and other celebrities are reacting with shock and grief over the death of Eagles guitarist Glenn Frey.
Frey, who co-founded the rock band with Don Henley, died of complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia at the age of 67 on Monday.
In statement, Henley said that crossing paths with Frey in 1970 changed his life "forever," and had an "impact on the lives of millions of other people all over the planet."
"It will be very strange going forward in a world without him in it," he wrote.
"But, I will be grateful every day that he was in my life. Rest in Peace, my brother. You did what you set out to do, and then some."
Frey's death also elicited sadness and surprise from fellow musicians and other performers on social media.
Paul Stanley, the rhythm guitarist for Kiss, expressed his shock over the rock star's death, and recalled trading stories with him at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Glenn once asked me "what do you think of the name 'Eagles?'" I said "The Eagles. Great." He said "no, Eagles." The group is "Eagles."
