Schism 2 Posted September 25, 2006 I see a dvd the other night, it was the Eagles playing in Australia. I was shocked to see Joe Walsh, such a great tallent but alas did not look to clever. Just curious, has any one heard anything bout his health of late I have done teh Google thing but have not found out to much, but in the 14 yrs since i see him last perform he looked a wee bit worst for wear.

Banshees Scream 110 Posted September 26, 2006 This guy Joe Walsh seems to be a rock guitarist for the Eagles. I was scrolling his biography and I did not find any serious health problems. I think the whole band is alive. That's something you don't see in Rock N Roll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Pooka 26 Posted September 26, 2006 I believe, by his own admission, he was a smoker who drank ........... or drinker that smoked. Membership of the James Gang was, in itself, a risk though it was Jesse what took the bullets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,630 Posted September 26, 2006 I was hangin' with that 'whispering Bob' Harris a few years ago. You know, the way you do. He told me some stories about Walsh's olympian coke habit. The man has cleaned up considerably since those days and values his health, or what's left of it. What you're looking at is the end result of twenty years hard partying. He wasn't kidding with lines like; 'It's hard to leave when you can't find the door.' The end result is that Walsh's health has taken a hammering and he's not likely to recover to the point where he might run marathons one day. However, he looks worn out but still manages a fairly healthy life. Or so I'm told. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you see Whisperin' again, tell him I want a CD of Appletree Theatre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
