The “Hotel California” group formed in 1971 and has been playing shows on The Long Goodbye tour since 2023, and they are currently performing a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, which is set to continue until the end of February.

But frontman Don Henley has now insisted the band is on the verge of parting ways for good. In an interview on CBS Sunday Morning, he was asked if The Eagles are finally going to quit, and he explained, “You know, I think this year will probably be it. And I’ve said things like that before, but I feel like we’re getting toward the end … And that will be fine too.”

When asked if it’s definitely the end for the band, he added, “I think so, yeah. And I’m OK with that.”

Henley went on to reveal he is hoping to spend more time with his family and tending to his garden, as well as traveling when he no longer has to consider his responsibilities with the group.

He said, “I would like to spend more time with my family and I would like to spend more time growing vegetables and I’d like to I’ve traveled all over the world, but I haven’t seen much of it because we see the airports and the hotel room and the venue, and we don’t get out much, you know?”

The 78-year-old continued, “And so I’d like to go back to some of the same places I’ve been and see more of those places, you know, before it all disappears or it gets vaporized or whatever.”

In the TV interview, Henley also revealed he now feels more comfortable playing the Eagles’ classic hits because they are what the fans want to hear at the shows, saying, “After a while, you learn to make friends with the songs. It’s not about us. It’s about what they mean to the people we’re playing them for. You have to play every night with your heart in it. Music is medicine. And people need some medicine right now.”
