During an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sg0cD9dKNrE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">CBS Sunday Morning<\/a>, Don Henley\u00a0indicated that this year will be the last for the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, I think this year will probably be it,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I\u2019ve said things like that before, but I feel like we\u2019re getting toward the end. And that will be fine too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked again if 2026 was truly the end of the Eagles, he replied, \u201cI think so, yeah. And I\u2019m OK with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And while Henley said he often has to psych himself up to play the same songs he\u2019s played for 50 years every night, he noted there\u2019s a good reason he does it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know it\u2019s not about us, it\u2019s about what\u00a0(the songs) mean to the people we\u2019re playing them for and therefore you have to play them every night with your heart in it, and you do it because of those people out there,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat makes us happy is that we make other people happy. We say that music is medicine and people need some medicine right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eagles return to the Sphere Las Vegas on Feb. 20, with shows booked through March 28. They will also play New Orleans Jazz Fest on May 2.
