Glenn Frey, who spent 30 years in the Eagles and had a successful solo career, died Monday in New York at the age of 67. TMZ claims the cause as “a combination of complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis, and pneumonia” following an intestinal surgery in November.

Frey was a founding Eagles member and the main vocalist of some of the band’s most recognizable hits, including “Take It Easy,” and helped soundtrack the 1980s with saxophone-laden solo tracks like “You Belong to the City” and “The Heat is On.” He is survived by his bandmates, with whom he’d performed intermittently since 1970.

The surviving members of the Eagles released a statement on their website:

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce... ...the passing of our comrade, Eagles founder, Glenn Frey, in New York City on Monday, January 18th, 2016. Glenn fought a courageous battle for the past several weeks but, sadly, succumbed to complications from Rheumatoid Arthritis, Acute Ulcerative Colitis and Pneumonia. The Frey family would like to thank everyone who joined Glenn to fight this fight and hoped and prayed for his recovery. Words can neither describe our sorrow, nor our love and respect for all that he has given to us, his family, the music community & millions of fans worldwide.
