Temps reached 66 degrees on April 25, 1994, in Burbank, Calif. – a bit colder than the typical high of 74, according to the National Weather Service. Inside the Warner Bros. Studio, however, hell was freezing over. The warring Eagles were finally ending a nearly 15-year hiatus, as the The Long Run-era lineup took the stage to run through old favorites and a few new songs. This concert would be recorded for a blockbuster MTV special and nine-times platinum chart-topping album. Both were titled Hell Freezes Over, after a favorite reply from Don Henley after being asked when the Eagles would get ...

Eagles icon Joe Walsh performed a short set for 300 people in heavy rain during a return to the place where he’d had his drink and drugs “epiphany.” On Sunday he performed alongside a band of students at Otatara Pa, a Maori fort near Hawkes Bay, New Zealand, where he told the audience about his experience there in 1989. “I’m so grateful I could come back,” the 76-year-old said (via the New Zealand Herald). “I’m kind of home in a way.” His set included a local song, Eagles classic “Desperado” and a cover of the Doors’ “Roadhouse Blues,” with accompaniment by pupils of nearby Taradale High Schoo...

Paul McCartney teamed up with Eagles at Thursday night’s Keep the Party Going: A Tribute to Jimmy Buffett, performing “Let It Be.” McCartney noted from the stage that he’d visited Buffett during the last week of his life and played a few songs for him then. Buffett “was in a pretty bad way, but he still had that twinkle in his eye,” McCartney explained. “Tonight I thought I’d sing one of those songs.” You can view fan-filmed footage of the performance below. The concert, which took place at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, also featured performances by Jon Bon Jovi (“Thank God & Jimmy Buffet...

When Eagles released their third album, On the Border, on March 22, 1974, it arrived amid a year of turmoil for the band. They had just added Don Felder to the lineup, and soon after the record’s launch they fired manager Elliot Roberts to sign with Irving Azoff instead. But they’d already fired Glyn Johns, producer of their first two LPs, after three months of effort in the U.K. had produced unsatisfactory results. “I just think it was time for a change,” Glenn Frey said cautiously in an interview with Crawdaddy (via the Guardian). Pointing out the band remained friends with Johns, he explain...

Eagles are expected to land in Las Vegas for a Sphere residency later this year, the New York Post reports. Sources have told the publication that the band will enjoy a 10-week sojourn in Sin City from September through December, although the total number of shows and terms of the deal have not been disclosed yet. A spokesperson for the state-of-the-art venue declined to comment on the rumor, telling the Post, “We do not comment on any artists performing at Sphere except for those who have been announced.” If the Eagles do perform at the Sphere, it will extend their ongoing Long Goodbye tour, ...

Prosecutors on Wednesday abruptly dropped the charges against three men accused of stealing handwritten Eagles lyrics from Don Henley after the bandleader reportedly failed to disclose thousands of pages of evidence on time. The news came to light after Henley waived his attorney-client privilege, thus granting prosecutors access to 6,000 pages of previously undisclosed materials, including emails between Henley, Eagles manager Irving Azoff and their legal team. Assistant District Attorney Aaron Ginandes wrote in a letter to the court that the defense should have had an opportunity to cross-ex...

He became the Eagles‘ unquestioned leader following Glenn Frey‘s death, but Don Henley got off to a decidedly slow start as a songwriter. He only had one co-credited composition on their 1972 debut. Things were different by the turn of the ’80s. He helped the Eagles to their first and second chart toppers with 1974’s “Best of My Love” and 1975’s “One of These Nights.” Then he fronted hit-song title tracks for two consecutive albums: “Hotel California” was a platinum-selling No. 1 smash in 1977, while “The Long Run” reached the Top 10 in 1979. In between, he sang and co-wrote 18 more Eagles son...

An auctioneer who’d been approached to sell 13 pages of Don Henley’s handwritten lyrics for “Hotel California” said he’d expected the transaction to raise at least $700,000 – giving each page a value of around $54,000. Those pages – and hundreds like them from the Eagles’ Hotel California era – are the subject of a criminal trial, with author Ed Sanders accused of trying to sell them when they remained the band members’ property. The New York State Supreme Court case aims to decide if Craig Inciardi, Edward Kosinski and Glenn Horowitz were entitled to sell the documents. If the court decides a...
