Randy Meisner, one of the original members of the Eagles, is dead.<\/p>\n\n\n

The legendary band’s former bassist and singer died Wednesday in Los Angeles as a result of complications from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), according to a statement issued Thursday by the Eagles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Randy was the OG bass player for the Eagles, and he’s famous for co-writing and singing their famous ballad, “Take It To The Limit.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with Glenn Frey<\/a>, Don Henley, and Bernie Leadon … Randy contributed to the band’s biggest albums, including “Hotel California” and “Desperado,” as well as “Eagles,” “On The Border” and “One of These Night.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Randy was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame way back in 1998 with the rest of the Eagles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band is remembering him as “an integral part of the Eagles and instrumental in the early success of the band” … and they say his vocal range was “astonishing.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Randy was born in Nebraska but spent a lot of time in L.A., where he got started in music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last time we got Randy on camera was back in April 2015, when he set the record straight<\/a> on allegations his wife was keeping him in a constant drunken state … and he also recounted the infamous 1977 backstage brawl with Frey, which lead to Randy quitting the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before forming the Eagles in 1971, Randy played bass for the band Poco … and was also the bassist for Rick Nelson’s Stone Canyon Band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was 77.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
