The Eagles Not Likely to Perform Again

Don Henley says an emotional performance with Jackson Browne at this year’s Grammy Awards will be the Eagles‘ last.

The surviving members gathered on that night in tribute to co-founder Glenn Frey, who co-wrote “Take It Easy” with Browne in the early ’70s. He died suddenly in January.

“That was the final farewell,” Henley tells the BBC. “I don’t think you’ll see us performing again. I think that was probably it. I think it was an appropriate farewell.”

Frey’s death, after years of stomach ailments, halted plans for an anniversary presentation of Hotel California, the multi-platinum album issued 40 years ago in 1976. Henley says the Eagles had been in discussion about presenting the project in its entirety as part of a new tour. “Obviously,” he adds, “that’s not going to happen now.”

Henley, meanwhile, has turned his attentions to an on-going solo career.
