A classic rock band is planning to retire after wrapping up its 2026 tour dates.
The Eagles co-founding member Don Henley told CBS Sunday Morning that this year will “probably” be the last for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group. The band announced two new concerts Wednesday “due to overwhelming demand,” but just 11 shows are now remaining on their schedule.
“You know, I think this year will probably be it. I’ve said things like that before, but I feel like we’re getting toward the end. And that will be fine, too,” Henley told CBS. “And I am OK with that.”
The latest additions are for shows April 10 and April 11 at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Tickets are available via Vivid Seats, StubHub and Seat Geek.
Henley said he’d like to spend more time with his family, including four children and a grandchild. He’d also like to spend “more time growing vegetables” and travel without the demands of a music tour.
“We see the airports and the hotel room and the venue, and we don’t get out much. I’d like to go back to the places I’ve been and see more of those places before it all disappears,” Henley told CBS. “There’s just lots of other things to do.”
The Eagles have been hinting for a while that they would be playing their “final” concerts, but had been leaving the door open by calling the tour a “Long Goodbye.” They previously split up in 1980 before reuniting in 1994 and have been mostly active for the past two decades.
The Eagles are a Grammy-winning band and one of the best-selling music artists of all time thanks to hits like “Hotel California,” “Take It Easy,” “Desperado,” “Best of My Love” and “Take It to the Limit.” Current members include Henley, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit, who are all 78 years old, plus Vince Gill and Deacon Frey, the son of late co-founder Glenn Frey.
The band recently hit a new milestone when their 1976 release, “Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975,” become the first album to go quadruple diamond, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. It’s the best-selling album of all time in the U.S. with more than 40 million units sold, the RIAA said.
“In an age, in a culture, where everything seems to become more ephemeral, by the day, it is gratifying to have been part of something that endures, even for fifty years,” Henley said last month. “We are amazed and grateful.”
