Randy Meisner: Former Eagles Bassist Accused of Murdering Wife

Randy Meisner – the singer/songwriter best known for his work with legendary rock group the Eagles – has reportedly been arrested in connection with the death of his wife, Lana Rae Meisner, who was shot and killed Sunday evening.

Details are scarce at this time, but TMZ is reporting that Lana Rae called police yesterday afternoon to report a domestic disturbance.


Just 90 minutes later, Randy called 911 again, this time to report that his wife had suffered a fatal gun shot wound.


Meisner told police that his wife went into a bedroom with a BB gun, and he heard a gun shot shortly thereafter.


The 69-year-old musician may not have been formally charged yet, but given his long history of erratic behavior and his frequent violent altercations with his wife, it is widely believed that he is being treated as a person of interest in the investigation into Lana Rae’s death.


Police insiders say Meisner was hospitalized at 4:45 this morning after “acting in an altered state.”


The highly-regarded bass guitarist – who’s best known for co-writing and performing on the Eagles’ 1975 hit “Take It to the Limit” – has a long history of mental instability.


His children have tried to get a conservatorship on more than one occasion, and family sources say Meisner recently threatened to go on a killing spree at an Encino hospital.


This is the second tragedy this year for one of the most popular band’s in the history of rock.


Eagles’ founding member Glen Frey passed away in January.

Glenn Frey Dies; Eagles Singer & Guitarist Was 67

Glenn Frey – the musician best know for the incredible string of hits he wrote and recorded with the Eagles – has passed away at the age of 67.



Frey had reportedly been struggling with intestinal issues for several years. He underwent surgery in November, but the sources say the results were not as he had hoped.


Together with Don Henley, Frey co-wrote some of the band’s biggest hits, such as “Hotel California” and “Desperado.”


He co-wrote and sang lead vocals on a number of other wildly successful Eagles songs, such as “Take It Easy,” Tequila Sunrise,” “Lyin’ Eyes,” and “Heartache Tonight.”


After the band broke up in the ’80s, Frey launched a successful solo career with such hits as “The Heat Is On.”


Frey reunited with the band in 1994 for the Hell Freezes Over tour, which still ranks as one of the highest-grossing in rock history.


Frey released his fifth and final solo LP in 2012, but remained active with the Eagles until the end of his life.


The band was recently forced to pull out of its scheduled performance at the Kennedy Center Honors in December due to Frey’s health problems.


One of the most highly-regarded singer-songwriters of the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, Frey became the subject of countless social media tributes just moments after news of his death went public.
