The eagles announce “the long goodbye” – the band’s final tour.

"The Eagles have had a miraculous 52-year odyssey, performing for people all over the globe; keeping the music alive in the face of tragic losses, upheavals and setbacks of many kinds. Credit and thanks go to our longtime management team, our dedicated road crew, and our exceptional backup musicians for providing skilled and steadfast support, throughout these many years. We know how fortunate we are, and we are truly grateful. Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle. The official farewell tour is currently in the planning stages. We want to give all our fans a chance to see us on this final round.  So, scheduling information will be released as dates are set. The difficulties of booking venues for multiple nights may require us to return to certain cities, depending on demand.  But, we hope to see as many of you as we can, before we finish up. Most importantly, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for embracing this band and its music. At the end of the day, you are the reason we have been able to carry on for over five decades. This is our swan song, but the music goes on and on.”

With love and gratitude, The Eagles

LOS ANGELES , July 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — After more than 50 years of touring, and consistently selling out arenas and stadiums worldwide, the Eagles announced today that their upcoming “The Long Goodbye”  will be the band’s final tour.

Thirteen shows will be initially announced. The first set of dates will begin September 7, 2023 , in New York .

The Eagles’ long-time contemporaries and fellow Hall of Famers, Steely Dan,  will be joining these historic shows and commemorating their own 50+ year career.

Presale tickets and VIP packages will be available starting Wednesday, July 12 for all announced shows. The general on-sale will start Friday, July 14 at 10:00 AM local time.

During “The Long Goodbye,” the Eagles – Don Henley , Joe Walsh , Timothy B. Schmit , with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey – will perform as many shows in each market as their audience demands. The tour is expected to continue into 2025.

Over the band’s more than 50 years of touring, the Eagles have performed more than 1,000 concerts around the world, accounting for more than 15 million tickets. Eagles’ tours have consistently ranked in the Top 10 of both concert industry publications, Billboard and Pollstar .

In the Fall of 1971, the Eagles formed, pioneered, and personified a uniquely American musical style blending country, folk, R&B, rock, and pop sensibilities, and would go onto become one of the most creatively and commercially successful bands of all time.  In today’s faddish, fractured, rock landscape, the Eagles retain an appeal that transcends both generation and genre, cementing the band’s role as enduring musical icons.

The Eagles have sold more than 150 million albums worldwide, scored six #1 albums, and topped the singles charts five times. They earned six GRAMMY Awards, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, in their very first year of eligibility, and received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2016.

The band’s Greatest Hits 1971-1977 is the best-selling album in history, with the RIAA certifying the collection at 38-times Platinum.  Hotel California is the third best-selling U.S. album in history, certified 26-times Platinum.  After its release in 1976, it topped the charts and earned two GRAMMY Awards for “New Kid In Town” and “Hotel California.”

The “Long Goodbye” tour is proudly presented by Live Nation.

Eagles Join Parade of Acts on Final Tours With a ‘Long Goodbye’

The band, which performed a “farewell” tour in 2003, will begin what’s billed as a last run of dates in September.

By Ben Sisario

Eagles are touring for the last time. Again.

The band, whose country-tinged rock hits in the 1970s like “Hotel California” and “Life in the Fast Lane” made it one of the biggest-selling acts of all time, announced the Long Goodbye on Thursday, booked as the group’s final tour.

The tour — featuring the core Eagles members Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit, along with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey (whose father was Glenn Frey, an original Eagle) — is set to open at Madison Square Garden on Sept. 7. That is the first of an initial batch of 13 dates mostly on the East Coast through Nov. 17, with Steely Dan as the opening act. In a statement, the Eagles floated the possibility of longer runs at each venue, saying they would “perform as many shows in each market as their audience demands.” The tour is expected to continue into 2025.

As longtime Eagles fans know, this is not the first time the band has signaled a sunset run. Back in 2003, it embarked on a tour called Farewell I . But there is good reason to believe they may be nearing the end. Glenn Frey, one of the group’s founding members, died in 2016 . Henley, the only member from its founding in 1971 who is still in the band, is 75; in an appearance before a Congressional committee in 2020 about copyright law, he said he was “in the final chapter of my career.” (Or maybe not. Bob Dylan, who is 82, is on a tour planned into 2024 , and the 86-year-old blues guitar hero Buddy Guy is on his own goodbye outing.)

Farewell tours have a way of winding on for years, and can be huge moneymakers. Kiss did its first in 2000 and has had more than a dozen tours since then; its End of the Road Tour started in 2019 and has dates booked through December. Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour began in 2018 and is set to finally conclude this weekend in Sweden, with at least $910 million in ticket sales, according to Billboard.

Among others now on their self-described final tours are Aerosmith, Foreigner, the punk band NOFX and Dead & Company, featuring original members of the Grateful Dead with John Mayer.

The Eagles are ready to fly one last time, soaring for a farewell tour this fall to cap off their five decades of touring.

“The Eagles have had a miraculous 52-year odyssey, performing for people all over the globe; keeping the music alive in the face of tragic losses, upheavals and setbacks of many kinds,” the “Hotel California” and “Desperado” hitmakers said in a Thursday statement .

“We know how fortunate we are, and we are truly grateful. Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle.”

The Los Angeles-formed rock band — eternally associated with the Southern California country-rock sound — will launch their Long Goodbye tour in New York’s Madison Square Garden on Sept. 7, announcing 12 additional dates Thursday with the possibility of more to come. However, no California dates have yet been announced.

Welcome to the ‘Hotel California’ saga: Missing lyric sheets, rare book dealers and a relentless Don Henley

In July, three men were indicted in an attempt to sell the manuscripts, stolen property belonging to the Eagles’ leader. But the story begins in the ’70s with a shelved biography.

Aug. 25, 2022

“The official farewell tour is currently in the planning stages. We want to give all our fans a chance to see us on this final round. So, scheduling information will be released as dates are set,” said the band, whose current lineup includes drummer and vocalist Don Henley, famed guitarist Joe Walsh, bassist Timothy B. Schmit and guitarist Vince Gill. Gill joined the band after founding member and guitarist Glenn Frey died at 67 in 2016 . (Frey’s son Deacon also played with the band for nearly five years before announcing his departure in 2022 .)

“The difficulties of booking venues for multiple nights may require us to return to certain cities, depending on demand. But, we hope to see as many of you as we can, before we finish up,” they said. “Most importantly, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for embracing this band and its music. At the end of the day, you are the reason we have been able to carry on for over five decades. This is our swan song, but the music goes on and on.”

The six-time Grammy Award-winning group and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers will be joined by contemporary act Steely Dan, whose members will be commemorating their own half-century spanning career as well.

The Eagles’ Glenn Frey spun sun-baked SoCal ballads that will endure

Few bands were better at distilling the vibe of Los Angeles in the 1970s than the Eagles, and as its singer and guitarist, Glenn Frey served as a sort of mellow ambassador of our city.

Jan. 19, 2016

The bands have scheduled shows through mid-November in Boston, Newark, Denver, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Atlanta, Charlotte and Raleigh, N.C., Lexington, Ky., and St. Paul, Minn. The full schedule can be found here . The Long Goodbye tour follows their recently expanded Hotel California tour , named for their landmark 1976 album that they played in its entirety during the tour, which wrapped in Baltimore in April.

Presale tickets and VIP packages for the Long Goodbye will be made available July 12 for all announced shows. General on-sale begins July 14.

The Eagles announce ‘Long Goodbye’ farewell tour: ‘This is our swan song’

The Eagles have taken it to the limit.

The legendary rock group has announced its final tour, dubbed “The Long Goodbye.”

“We know how fortunate we are, and we are truly grateful,” the band said in a statement . “Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle. The official farewell tour is currently in the planning stages. We want to give all our fans a chance to see us on this final round.”

Thirteen shows have initially been announced, with more to come.

“During ‘The Long Goodbye,’ the Eagles — Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey — will perform as many shows in each market as their audience demands. The tour is expected to continue into 2025,” a press release for the tour said.

The band says “the difficulties of booking venues for multiple nights” may result in returning to select cities for additional dates, if the interest is there.

“Most importantly, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for embracing this band and its music,” the group said. “At the end of the day, you are the reason we have been able to carry on for over five decades. This is our swan song, but the music goes on and on.”

The Eagles are one of music's most enduring acts. Formed in 1971, they have sold more than 150 million albums worldwide and won six Grammy Awards, and were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. Their album "Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975" is the bestselling album in history, certified 38 times platinum.

The Eagles Long Goodbye: See the setlist for the legendary rock band's final tour

It will be a long goodbye for the Eagles, who announced their final tour in July and vow to stay on the road through 2025 - or until they hit every market that might welcome them, sometimes more than once.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers kicked off their farewell at New York's Madison Square Garden Sept. 7 with a 23-song setlist that spotlights their myriad hits – "Take it Easy," "Witchy Woman," "Tequila Sunrise," "Life in the Fast Lane" and of course, "Hotel California" among them – and also paid tribute to "dear friend" Jimmy Buffett, who died Sept. 1 , and original Eagles bassist Randy Meisner, who died in July.

As on past tours, the core of Don Henley, Timothy B. Schmit and Joe Walsh are joined by upper-register maestro Vince Gill and Deacon Frey, son of the late Eagles legend Glenn Frey. The additional four musicians backing the Eagles augment an already pristine sound for this two-hour hits parade.

Here is a look at the songs being performed on the Eagles' Long Goodbye tour.

The Eagles Long Goodbye tour setlist

• "Seven Bridges Road"
• "Take It Easy"
• "One of These Nights"
• "Take It to the Limit"
• "Best of My Love"

Eagles Are Reelin’ in Retirement With Steely Dan

Sure, you can check out any time you like at the Hotel California, but they made it clear you can never truly leave. Eagles ’ long run will end with their upcoming tour, their final outing as a band after five decades. “We know how fortunate we are and we are truly grateful,” the members said in a collective statement . “But everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle. The official farewell tour is currently in the planning stages. We want to give all our fans a chance to see us on this final round.” The tour is expected to last until 2025 and will be scheduled “depending on demand” across cities. (Let’s try to summon Eras Tour level of chaos to honor them.) “Most importantly, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for embracing this band and its music,” they added. “At the end of the day, you are the reason we have been able to carry on for over five decades. This is our swan song, but the music goes on and on.” Don Henley, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit, along with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey , will, of course, be present for the entirety of the tour.

Steely Dan will be joining Eagles as a “special guest” opener for the fall tour dates, adding an intriguing bookend to their relationship. For those not well versed in their friendly rivalry, the bands traded jabs during their prolific mid-’70s outputs: Donald Fagen and Walter Becker teased on The Royal Scam ’s “Everything You Did” that a bickering couple should “turn up the Eagles, the neighbors are listening”; Eagles soon responded with a line in “Hotel California” in which “they stab it with their steely knives, but they just can’t kill the beast.” (Henley was also fired by Steely Dan during the Aja sessions, which was pretty much a rite of passage for any musician.) Glenn Frey later voiced his admiration for Steely Dan’s approach to music, which served as an inspiration for several Hotel California tracks. “We were sort of trying to expand our lyrical horizons and just take on something in the realm of the bizarre, as Steely Dan had done,” Frey explained . “One of the things that impressed us about Steely Dan was that they would say anything in their songs, and it didn’t have to necessarily make sense.” That’s great, but we’re mostly hopeful this tour can serve as a “Second Arrangement” debut .

The Eagles announce final tour, including Detroit show in October: ‘This is our swan song’

We’re getting to the end of the long run: The Eagles will play Little Caesars Arena on Oct. 13, part of a fall U.S. tour as the band begins to wrap up a half-century career.

Don Henley and company announced Thursday morning the Eagles are embarking on a farewell tour dubbed the Long Goodbye, starting with 13 cities this autumn and expected to run through 2025. Steely Dan has been tapped to open.

“Everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle,” the band said in a statement.

Tickets for the LCA date and the other fall shows will go on sale at 10 a.m. July 14 through Ticketmaster. A presale will start July 12.

This won’t necessarily be the final Detroit show for the Eagles, whose Motor City concert career began in 1972 as a support act for bands such as Yes and Mahavishnu Orchestra. The band indicated Thursday it plans to “perform as many shows in each market as their audience demands.”

The current Eagles lineup includes vocalist-drummer Henley, guitarist Joe Walsh and bassist Timothy B. Schmit. Also aboard is Vince Gill, who joined the group in 2017 following the death of cofounder and Detroit native Glenn Frey.

The band's full statement:

“The Eagles have had a miraculous 52-year odyssey, performing for people all over the globe; keeping the music alive in the face of tragic losses, upheavals and setbacks of many kinds. Credit and thanks go to our longtime management team, our dedicated road crew, and our exceptional backup musicians for providing skilled and steadfast support, throughout these many years.

“We know how fortunate we are, and we are truly grateful. Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle. The official farewell tour is currently in the planning stages. We want to give all our fans a chance to see us on this final round.  So, scheduling information will be released as dates are set.

“The difficulties of booking venues for multiple nights may require us to return to certain cities, depending on demand. But, we hope to see as many of you as we can, before we finish up. Most importantly, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for embracing this band and its music. At the end of the day, you are the reason we have been able to carry on for over five decades. This is our swan song, but the music goes on and on.”

The Eagles Announce 'The Long Goodbye' Final Tour: 'The Time Has Come to Close the Circle'

The band's last ever tour begins on Sept. 7 in New York City

The Eagles are soaring one final time! 

On Thursday, the band announced that after more than 50 years of touring and 150 million albums sold worldwide, their upcoming “The Long Goodbye” tour will be their last. 

“Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle. The official farewell tour is currently in the planning stages,” the band said in an emotional statement.

"The Long Goodbye" tour will feature Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, Vince Gill and Deacon Frey — son of the late Glenn Frey , one of the founding members of the band — and begins on Sept. 7, 2023, in New York City. 

The band said they hoped to see as many fans as possible on the final tour and announced 13 initial dates across America, along with support act Steely Dan .

In their announcement, the band also noted the long, and at times challenging, journey since they formed in 1972. 

“The Eagles have had a miraculous 52-year odyssey, performing for people all over the globe; keeping the music alive in the face of tragic losses, upheavals and setbacks of many kinds,” they said, adding thanks to their management team, road crew and backup musicians. 

Deacon, 30, rejoins The Eagles for the final tour after it was announced last year that he was leaving the band after 4 and a half years to “forge his own path.” He initially joined the band in 2017 after his father Glenn died in 2016 at 67 years old.

During an illustrious career spanning more than five decades and six No. 1 albums, the band's 1976 album “Hotel California” and its eponymous title track remain their most well-known and well-loved music. “Every band has a peak, and that was ours,” drummer and vocalist Henley told Rolling Stone in 2016 . 

Despite winning two Grammy awards, being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 and receiving the Kennedy Center Honors in 2016, the band made it clear that, for them, it’s all about the fans. 

“We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for embracing this band and its music. At the end of the day, you are the reason we have been able to carry on for over five decades," they said in their release.

“This is our swan song, but the music goes on and on.”  Presale tickets and VIP packages for 'The Long Goodbye' are available from July 12 for all announced shows. General ticket sales open Friday, July 14 at 10 a.m.

Eagles Announce ‘The Long Goodbye’ Farewell Tour

Eagles  have announced The Long Goodbye farewell tour, officially billed as the legendary rock group's final trek.  Steely Dan will serve as the opening act for the tour. You can see the first 13 announced dates below. Tickets will go on sale for those shows on July 14 at 10 a.m. local time.

“The Eagles have had a miraculous 52-year odyssey, performing for people all over the globe; keeping the music alive in the face of tragic losses, upheavals and setbacks of many kinds,” noted a message from the band. “Credit and thanks go to our longtime management team, our dedicated road crew, and our exceptional backup musicians for providing skilled and steadfast support, throughout these many years. We know how fortunate we are, and we are truly grateful.

“Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed,” the statement continued. “But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle.”

Although only 13 initial concert dates are listed, the band promised to perform "as many shows in each market as their audience demands" and added that “scheduling information will be released as dates are set.” “We hope to see as many of you as we can before we finish up,” they said in closing. “Most importantly, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for embracing this band and its music. At the end of the day, you are the reason we have been able to carry on for over five decades. This is our swan song, but the music goes on and on.”

The group's lineup will consist of legacy members Don Henley , Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit , along with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey. The latter two joined the touring group in 2017 following the death of Deacon's father and Eagles co-founder, Glenn Frey . In April 2022 it was announced that Deacon had left the group , but he returned for a pair of shows two months later.

The band's first farewell tour performance is slated for Sept. 7 at Madison Square Garden in New York. The press release noted that the trek is expected to last through 2025.

Eagles and Steely Dan have a long history together. In their heydays, both bands were managed by Irving Azoff. They forged a friendship and even referenced each other in songs. Steely Dan's “Everything You Did" includes the line “Turn up the Eagles, the neighbors are listening.” Meanwhile, the Eagles make a reference to Steely Dan in the lyrics to "Hotel California."

“One of the things that impressed us about Steely Dan was that they would say anything in their songs, and it didn’t have to necessarily make sense,” Glenn Frey once admitted , adding that Eagles "were sort of trying to expand our lyrical horizons and just take on something in the realm of the bizarre, as Steely Dan had done.”

The Eagles' farewell tour: Look back at iconic band's ‘Long Goodbye’

The eagles' tour kicks off in september in new york.

Fox News Flash top entertainment headlines of July 13

Fox News Flash top entertainment and celebrity headlines are here.

After 52 years, over 150 million albums sold and more than a thousand concerts, The Eagles are officially retiring from touring. 

The band announced July 6 its upcoming tour, The Long Goodbye, will be the last. Originally formed in 1971, the band won six Grammys and had five No. 1 singles and six No. 1 albums, making it one of the most successful acts of the 1970s.

Even with all their success, in 1980 they broke up after nearly 10 years together. The Eagles reformed in the 1990s with a mix of original and new members. The break did nothing to slow down the success of the band, which made it onto Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

Here is what the band members are up to today.

Don Henley

Don Henley founded The Eagles in 1971 after he and Glenn Frey met while on tour with Linda Ronstadt as part of her backup band. The two then got together with Randy Meisner and Bernie Leadon to complete the band, and the rest is history. 

Henley acted as the lead singer and drummer for the band. He also wrote many of their most popular songs, along with Frey, including "Desperado," "Hotel California," "King of Hollywood" and "One of These Nights." He additionally wrote "Witchy Woman" and "Learn to be Still" outside his partnership with Frey. 

When the band broke up in 1980, Henley embarked on a solo career, releasing his first solo album, "I Can Stand Still," in August 1982. The album featured Henley's best-selling solo hit, "Dirty Laundry," which reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, became gold-certified and earned him a Grammy nomination.

He followed the success of "Dirty Laundry" with his second studio album, "Building the Perfect Beast," which featured the singles "All She Wants to Do Is Dance," "Not Enough Love in the World" and "Sunset Grill." The album also boasted "The Boys of Summer," which earned Henley a Grammy for best male rock vocal performance.

His third solo album, "The End of the Innocence," was an even bigger success, leading him to win a second Grammy as a solo artist in the best male rock vocal performance category.

In 1994, the Eagles got back together, Henley included. Their first project back was a live album called "Hell Freezes Over," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts, where it stayed for two weeks. 

After reuniting, Henley was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with the rest of the Eagles in 1998. He remains the only original member still in the band.

From 2001 to 2007, Henley was involved in a lawsuit filed against him by former Eagles band member Don Felder, who claimed wrongful termination and sought $50 million in damages. Henley countersued along with Frey, who was also named in the lawsuit. The case was dismissed in 2007 after all parties settled out of court.

After a series of relationships, Henley married model and socialite Sharon Summerall in 1995. Together they have three children, Annabel, Julia and Will Henley.

As a founding member of the Eagles, Glenn Frey also sang lead and background vocals, as well as playing the keyboards and lead guitar. He provided the vocals for many of the band's most famous songs, such as "Take It Easy," "Peaceful Easy Feeling," "Tequila Sunrise" and "Heartache Tonight."

Along with Henley, Frey wrote many of the band's songs, including "Wasted Time," "The Long Run," "One of These Nights" and "Lyin' Eyes," as well as writing some on his own.

After the band broke up in 1980, he started a solo career with the album "No Fun Aloud," which had two singles, "The One You Love" and "I Found Somebody." It went on to become certified gold as did his album "The Allnighter."

Frey also provided original songs for popular movie soundtracks, including "The Heat Is On" for "Beverly Hills Cop," "Flip City" for "Ghostbusters II" and "Part of Me, Part of You" for "Thelma & Louise."

Frey's first gig as an actor was in a 1985 episode of "Miami Vice." He continued throughout the ‘80s and ’90s while the Eagles were on hiatus. Following the reunification of the band, he appeared in "Jerry Maguire," "Nash Bridges" and "Arli$$."

In 1994, Frey reunited with the Eagles, telling Tavis Smiley on "The Tavis Smiley Show" in 2012, "When the Eagles broke up, people used to ask me and Don, 'When are the Eagles getting back together?' We used to answer, 'When hell freezes over.' We thought it was a pretty good joke. People have the misconception that we were fighting a lot. It is not true. We had a lot of fun. We had a lot more fun than I think people realize."

Frey's final tour with the band was the multi-year "History of the Eagles Tour," which began in February 2013 and ended in July 2015.

Frey was first married to Janie Beggs from 1983 to 1988. He would later marry dancer and choreographer Cindy Millican in 1990 and was with her until his death in 2016. In that time, they had three children: a daughter, Taylor, and two sons, Deacon and Otis.

The musician had been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis since 2000, and the medication he had been taking for over 15 years caused colitis and pneumonia. After being placed in a medically induced coma, Frey died in January 2016. His bandmates paid tribute to him at the Grammy Awards that year, taking the stage to play "Take It Easy."

Randy Meisner

Randy Meisner was part of a few bands before becoming an original member of the Eagles, acting mainly as a bassist and background vocalist providing high harmony.

While he was primarily the band's bassist, he also wrote and sang lead on many of the band's most popular songs, including "Take It to the Limit" off the band's fourth album and the band's most successful single up to that point. He also wrote and sang lead on "Try and Love Again," "Certain Kind of Fool" and "Take the Devil."

The success of "Take It to the Limit" and the band's fifth studio album "Hotel California," led to Meisner feeling overwhelmed with the fame. That combined with exhaustion, illness and his desire to spend more time with his family led to tension among him and his fellow bandmates.

In the 2004 Eagles biography "To the Limit: The Untold Story of The Eagles," Meisner told Marc Eliot that at a concert in June 1977, the band was planning on playing "Take It to the Limit" as the encore, which Meisner refused to do. His refusal led to a fight between him and Frey, which even after it was resolved, led to Meisner feeling frozen out by the rest of the group.

"Those last days on the road were the worst. Nobody was talking to me or would hang out after shows or do anything," Meisner recounted. "I was made an outcast of the band I'd helped start."

In the documentary, "The History of the Eagles," Meisner said his refusal to sing the song stemmed from not only his exhaustion that night, but also his worry he wouldn't be able to hit the high notes, a concern he had voiced to the band before. Meisner officially left the band in September 1977.

Following his time in the band, Meisner released two solo albums, "Randy Meisner," in 1978, and "One More Song," in 1980. In 1985, Meisner joined the country rock supergroup Black Tie alongside Jimmy Griffin and Billy Swan. The group released one album together before Griffin left the band and was replaced by Charlie Rich, Jr.

Meisner was not invited to return when the Eagles got back together in 1994. However, he did reunite with the band in 1998 when it was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He joined the supergroup World Class Rockers in 1995. But after a few minor heart attacks in 2004, he cut back on performing, with his last public appearance being in 2008.

Meisner suffered a series of health setbacks following his heart attacks.

In 2013, he was rushed to a hospital after losing consciousness when a piece of food got stuck in his throat, landing him in a coma. In 2015, he was put under a temporary conservatorship when his friend accused his wife of taking advantage of his drug and alcohol dependency, although it didn't last long.

The musician first married his high school sweetheart, Jennifer Lee Barton, in 1963, and had three children with her — a son, Dana in November 1963 and twins Heather Leigh and Eric Shane in May 1970, before divorcing in 1981. He then married Lana Rae in November 1996 and was married to her until her death in 2016. 

Bernie Leadon

Bernie Leadon was the last original member of The Eagles to join the band, playing lead guitar and banjo. Prior to his time with the group, he was part of three other bands, Hearts & Flowers, Dillard & Clark and the Flying Burrito Brothers.

He had a big role in the band's early success, helping to write one of th early hits, "Witchy Woman," and was also credited for shaping the band's early bluegrass sound. Although he was the last member to join the band, he was the first to leave, bowing out in 1975.

His decision to leave came after he poured a beer over Glenn Frey's head when things got heated during a band meeting in 1975, although that incident wasn't his main reason. He told Rock History Music in September 2019 he regrets the incident. And when he was in recovery for alcoholism he realized he had to make amends, which he was able to do years later.

It was widely believed Leadon left the band because he wasn't happy with the direction the music was going. However, he debunked that rumor in 2013. (Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images)

It was widely believed Leadon left the band because he was dissatisfied with the decision to transition into the rock ‘n’ roll genre, telling Rolling Stone in 2013, "that's an oversimplification," and that his love of rock music is evident in the early albums.

After leaving the band, Leadon kept a low profile for a time, playing on Michael Georgiades album, "Natural Progressions," in 1977, before releasing his first solo album "Ever Call Ready," under a pseudonym. He later joined the bluegrass band Run C&W, releasing two albums with them.

In 1998, Leadon reunited with the Eagles when the band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, joining them to play "Take It Easy" and "Hotel California." After a 27-year gap, Leadon released his second solo album, "Mirrors," in 2004.

After making amends with Frey and the rest of the band, Leadon joined them on the "History of the Eagles Tour" from 2013 to 2015 and later appeared with them on the Grammys stage in 2016 when they performed "Take It Easy" in tribute of Frey, who had died a month earlier.

Joe Walsh was brought in to join the Eagles in 1975 as a replacement for Leadon. The first album he was featured on as the band's guitarist was "Hotel California." 

Prior to joining the band, Walsh had already released a solo album, "So What," which featured "Song for Emma," which he wrote for his daughter who died a 3 years old. He then released the live album, "You Can't Argue with a Sick Mind," which was recorded just before he joined the Eagles but wasn't released until 1976.

Walsh continued to release solo music after the band broke up, although they were not as successful as his earlier works. He released "There Goes the Neighborhood," "You Bought It – You Name It," "The Confessor," "Got Any Gum," "Ordinary Average Guy" and "Songs for a Dying Planet."

After some time with a couple different groups, Walsh partnered with Glenn Frey for the band Party of Two.

Walsh reunited with The Eagles in 1994 with the album, "Hell Freezes Over," and its corresponding tour. He has performed with them ever since.

In 2012, Walsh released his latest solo album to date, "Analog Man," featuring "One Day at a Time" which details his struggles with alcohol and drug addiction.

Walsh has been married five times, first to Margie Walsh in the 1960s, then to Stefany Rhodes from 1971 to 1978. He was married to Juanita Boyer from 1980 to 1988, Denise Driscoll from 1999 to 2006 and then wed Marjorie Bach in December 2008.

Timothy B. Schmit

In 1968, Timothy B. Schmit replaced Randy Meisner as the bassist in the band Poco, going on to replace him once again with the Eagles when Meisner left in 1977. 

He joined the band following the release of "Hotel California," with his first Eagles album being "The Long Run," on which he co-wrote and sang lead vocals for the song "I Can't Tell You Why."

The band broke up shortly after Schmit joined the band, so he pursued a solo career. He released three albums, "Playin' It Cool," in September 1984, "Timothy B," in September 1987 and "Tell Me the Truth" in 1990. 

In an odd twist, Schmit partnered with his predecessor from both Poco and the Eagles, Randy Meisner, as well as his old bandmate Joe Walsh, to provide background vocals on Richard Marx's hit song "Don't Mean Nothing." He then performed on a few tracks for the band Toto. He went on tour with them in 1982, later touring with Jimmy Buffett from 1983 to 1985 as a member of the Coral Reefer Band.

He returned to the Eagles when they reunited in 1994. He remains a member of the band to this day.

After the band reunited, Schmit went on to release four more solo albums, "Feed the Fire," "Expando," "Leap of Faith" and "Day by Day," which was released in May 2022.

While in the band Poco , Schmit married Noreen Schmit and had a daughter named Jeddrah in 1971 before getting a divorce in the mid-1970s. He then married actress Jean Cromie in 1983, who he is married to today. The couple has two children together, a daughter named Owen Faye and a son named Ben.

After the death of Glenn Frey, Vince Gill joined the Eagles in 2017 along with Deacon Frey. While he is new to the band, Gill is no newcomer to the music industry. 

He got his start in 1979 when he joined the band Pure Prairie League, with which he stayed for a few years before leaving in 1981 to join Cherry Bomb, a stage band which played for Rodney Crowell. In the mid-1980s, he signed a solo record deal with RCA Records, releasing two albums, "The Things That Matter" in 1984 and "The Way Back Home" in 1987.

He later found great success with the release of "When I Call Your Name" in 1989. The lead single with the same name went on to win both single and song of the year at the 1990 CMA Awards, as well as a Grammy Award for best country vocal performance.

Gill has released a total of 20 studio albums, including "Pocket Full of Gold," "When Love Finds You," "High Lonesome Sound," "Let's Make Sure We Kiss Goodbye," "Next Big Thing" and "Down to My Last Bad Habit." In total, Gill has sold over 30 million albums and charted 45 singles.

Throughout his decades-long career, Gill has gone on to receive a total of 47 Grammy Award nominations with a total of 22 wins.

He has also won a total of 19 CMA Awards , making him one of the most decorated artists in CMA history. He is the only artist to win male vocalist of the year four years in a row and the only songwriter to win song of the year four times.

Gill has also been inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Country Music Hall of Fame and has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

From 2010 to 2020, Gill was a member of the country swing band The Time Jumpers, which was originally started in 1988. The musician has also been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since his induction in 1991.

He met his first wife, singer Janice Oliver when they were both up-and-coming musicians in the 1980s. The two got married in 1980 and welcomed their daughter Jennifer in 1982. After 17 years of marriage, the two divorced in 1997.

Gill met his second wife, Amy Grant , in 1993, when he asked her to perform on his first televised Christmas special. She was married to Gary Chapman at the time. A couple of months after Chapman and Grant's divorce was finalized in 1999, she and Gill went public with their relationship, getting married in March 2000. Together they share a daughter, Corrina, born in 2001.

Deacon Frey

Deacon Frey is the son of Glenn Frey and joined the Eagles in 2017 after the death of his father in 2016. He played in the band for 4½ years before announcing he was leaving in April 2022.

"Deacon Frey has devoted the past 4½ years to carrying on his father’s legacy and, after some weeks of reflection, he now feels that it is time for him to forge his own path," the band wrote in a statement posted on its website announcing his departure. "We understand, completely, and we support him in whatever he wishes to pursue in the years ahead.

"In the wake of his dad’s demise, Deacon, at age 24, did an extraordinary thing by stepping from relative anonymity into the very public world of his father’s long illustrious career. We are grateful to Deacon for his admirable efforts, and we wish him well as he charts his future. Deacon’s Eagles Family will always be here to surround him with love, support and goodwill, and he is always welcome to join us onstage at any future concerts, if he so desires."

He has kept a low profile since leaving the band but is slated to make some appearances with them during their farewell tour, "The Long Goodbye."

Don Felder joined the Eagles in 1974 after initially coming on as a guest to provide additional guitar tracks for two songs. (Getty Images)

In early 1974, Don Felder was asked to provide additional guitar during the recording of the Eagles' song "Good Day in Hell" and "Already Gone," leading him to join the band permanently shortly after. As a member of the band, Felder co-wrote and sang lead on the song "Visions."

Following the success of 1976's "Hotel California," the band members felt increasing pressure to put out another album that would become just as big a success. This led to animosity between band members, most notably between Felder and Glenn Frey. 

The friction between them came to a head during a benefit concert in Long Beach, California, for Sen. Alan Cranston. Frey felt Felder was rude to the senator and got angry with him, leading to the two threatening to hurt each other while performing. The show ended with Felder smashing his guitar backstage, and the band broke up shortly after.

When the band initially split in 1980, Felder kept a low profile, going on to release his first solo album, "Airborne," in 1983. The album's lead single, "Never Surrender," was featured on the soundtrack for the film "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."

Felder returned to the band in 1994 when it reunited for the new album, "Hell Freezes Over." He was still with the band when it was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, however he ended up getting fired in 2001.

After that, Felder filed two lawsuits alleging wrongful termination, breach of implied-in-fact contract, and breach of fiduciary duty, reportedly seeking $50 million in damages . He was then countersued by Don Henley and Frey, who alleged breach of contract, as they accused Felder of attempting to sell the rights to a tell-all book. The matter was settled out of court in 2007.

The following year, Felder released his autobiography , "Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles (1974–2001)," in which he gave his side of the story.

Nearly 30 years after the release of his debut solo album, he released his second solo album, "Road to Forever" in 2012. His third album, "American Rock ‘n’ Roll," was released in April 2019.

Eagles farewell tour setlist: Every song they played in Phoenix on the Long Goodbye Tour

T he Eagles brought their farewell tour, the Long Goodbye Tour, to downtown Phoenix Friday, Jan. 19, for the first performance of a two-night stand at Footprint Center , welcoming fans with the a cappella harmonies of “Seven Bridges Road,” a live staple that became a hit when they included it on 1980’s “Eagles Live.”

The last time the Eagles played Phoenix, they were on a 2023 Hotel California Tour, revisiting their most iconic studio release in its entirety , which meant dusting off rarely played treasures as timeless as “The Last Resort” and “Try and Love Again.”

For the Long Goodbye Tour, they’ve put the focus squarely on their greatest hits, including nearly every song on “Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975),” which remains the most successful greatest hits collection in the history of rock ‘n’ roll.

Even the hits that weren’t actual hits are such seminal Eagles recordings that there’s a decent chance most people singing along would be surprised to learn “Tequila Sunrise” peaked at No. 64 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and “Desperado” was never released as a single.

That song would've been a massive hit.

The Eagles are in the middle of what may very well be the band’s final concert tour. As the group prepares to play more shows to huge crowds throughout Europe, their latest album has become another hit for the band–one that’s brought them back into the highest reaches of several Billboard charts.

This week, the Eagles hit the top 10 on three different tallies. The band debuts their latest project To The Limit: The Essential Collection inside the loftiest region on a trio of rosters, showing that there’s still intense interest in their music, even after decades together.

To The Limit debuts highest on the Top Rock Albums. On that ranking of the most-consumed rock full-lengths and EPs in the U.S., the new set from the Eagles opens at No. 6.

The same compilation starts at No. 8 on a very similar list, the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart. As its name suggests, that roster includes both pure rock and pure alternative titles, and it also focuses on total consumption of all eligible projects.

The Eagles come in just one rung lower on the Top Album Sales chart. To The Limit opens at No. 9 on that ranking of the bestselling efforts in America. According to Luminate, the latest offering from the band arrives with 6,987 copies purchased.

To The Limit marks the fifth top 10 for the Eagles on all three of those charts. On the genre-specific lists, the new release brings the band their first new win inside that tier since 2020. On the Top Album Sales chart, they reached the top 10 just last year.

The latest from the Eagles also manages to debut on the Billboard 200. That chart ranks all of the 200 most-consumed albums in the country, regardless of how long they’ve been around or what style of music they fit under. On that list, To The Limit launches at No. 30, earning one of the highest starts of the week. The set moved 22,115 equivalent units in its first seven days of availability.
