Don Henley says 2026 will “probably” be the final year of the Eagles

Eagles founding member Don Henley has said that he thinks the band will “probably” come to an end this year.

The legendary group are in the middle of a huge run of shows at the Sphere in Las Vegas, as part of their titanic ‘The Long Goodbye’ tour, but with that residency set to end in March, singer and drummer Henley, 78, has opened up about where he sees the band going next.

In an interview on CBS Sunday Morning, he was asked about their future, and he replied: “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,” he added. “And that will be fine too.”

He went on to say that he is eager to spend more time with his family and he would like the opportunity to “grow vegetables” and travel. “I’ve been 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 Vegas run was originally only intended to last for eight shows, but it has been extended multiple times due to “overwhelming demand”, with the final 12 shows taking place in the early months of this year. The last date is on March 28 and you can find any remaining tickets here.

The Eagles formed in 1971 after Glenn Frey and Henley played together in Linda Ronstadt’s backing band, and they remained together until 1980, reforming multiple times since. They are one of the most successful bands of all time, winning six Grammys and selling over 200 million records worldwide, and they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.

Last month, their ‘Greatest Hits’ album from 1976, the best-selling album of all time in the US and the fifth worldwide, became the first record ever to be quadruple diamond-certificated in their home country, signifying 40 million sales.

A 50th anniversary reissue of the album is being released on February 17 on clear, 180-gram vinyl – visit here to pre-order.
