The Eagles: A Farewell Tour in 2026 - Don Henley Shares Insights on the Band's Future
Don Henley, the only original member of the Eagles, recently shared in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning that 2026 is likely to mark the end of the band's performances and possibly their existence. Henley expressed that he feels the band is nearing its conclusion after being on the road for much of the past decade and that he is content with that prospect. The Eagles currently have a few shows scheduled for this year, but Henley indicated that 2026 will probably be the end for the band, as he desires to spend more time with his family and pursue other interests like gardening and traveling. Henley emphasized the importance of having a multi-dimensional life beyond the band and expressed his desire to explore more of the world and spend time with his loved ones. The Eagles have a history of retirement discussions, having previously disbanded in 1980 before reuniting in 1994. The band has been active since then, releasing new music and touring, with their current lineup including Vince Gill following the passing of cofounder Glenn Frey in 2016. The Eagles have a series of upcoming concert dates, primarily at Las Vegas' Sphere, where they have been in residency since 2024, with their last scheduled performance set for May 2 at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Fans can find more details about the band and their tour schedule on their official website.
