Per TMZ, Randy Meisner passed away Wednesday, July 26th at the age of 77. According to his former bandmates, the cause of death was issues from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). He had played both bass and sang for the Eagles as well as wrote some of the band’s biggest hits ever. One of the most infamous songs that he co-wrote was “Take It To The Night” and was a major contributor to Hotel California. Other members of the band included Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and Bernie Leadon.
Back in 1998, Randy Meisner and his bandmates celebrated their induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His legacy by the band will be “an integral part of the Eagles and instrumental in the early success of the band.” Sadly, he had not been seen on camera for eight years.

RIP Randy Meisner. His solo version of Take it to the Limit is a favorite of mine. It’s more stripped down than the original. Great song.
