Henley says new Eagles album in the works: report
LOS ANGELES, Jan 30 (Reuters Life!) – Fans of Southern California’s classic rock group the Eagles may soon be getting that peaceful, easy feeling all over again.
Don Henley, one of the group’s founding members, said during a private weekend concert appearance he and his old bandmates were nearing completion of their first album of all-new music in nearly 30 years, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported on Tuesday.
“It’s coming out in 60 to 90 days, if we don’t kill each other first,” Henley was quoted as telling his audience on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Neither Henley’s publicist nor his manager had any immediate comment on the report.
The group’s last collection of all-new studio material was 1979’s “The Long Run,” which produced the Grammy-winning No. 1 hit single “Heartache Tonight.”
The Eagles’ 1976 greatest-hits collection, including such favorites as “Peaceful Easy Feeling,” “Take It Easy” and “One of These Nights,” became the biggest-selling U.S. album of all time, with sales of 29 million copies to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
The Eagles officially disbanded in 1982 and its members all went on to release solo recordings. In 1994, the group reunited for their first full-scale comeback tour with Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, Timothy Schmit and Don Felder.
The band appeared together again, with past members Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner, when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
