THE LONG GOODBYE IS FINALLY BECOMING REAL FOR THE EAGLES. After more than five decades of music that quietly followed people through love, loss, and growing older, Eagles are letting their final tour wind down without spectacle, as Don Henley speaks less about what comes next on stage and more about family, time, and the life that waited patiently while the road kept calling. Some farewells don’t feel loud — they just stay with you.

Eagles formed all the way back in 1971 and became one of the biggest bands in the history of music.

In recent years, the current lineup has been wowing crowds around the world on what they’re calling The Long Goodbye tour – and it seems that the goodbye is coming to a close.

“And I’ve said things like that before, but I feel like we’re getting toward the end … And that will be fine too.”

He added: “I would like to spend more time with my family and I would like to spend more time growing vegetables.

“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.

“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 vapourised or whatever.”

Eagles split in 1980 after a run of six albums. They reunited in 1994 and released Hell Freezes Over, which featured four new studio tracks alongside a collection of live recordings.

They released the double album Long Road Out of Eden in 2007 and continued to tour until co-lead-singer Glenn Frey’s death in 2016.

After a pause, Eagles reconvened with Deacon Frey and Vince Gill joining the group. They are currently playing a residency at the Las Vegas Sphere.

The group’s last date at the Sphere will take place on March 28, with their final booked show being at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on May 2.

The audience laughed, then gasped, when Paul McCartney admitted he won’t be making modern pop albums — and with a twinkle in his eye he dropped the names Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, explaining that the new queens of pop had already conquered that kingdom, leaving him free to be himself, witty, humble, and timeless, and while some braced for scandal the room instead melted into admiration as Paul slyly referenced When I’m 64 without anyone noticing, proving that true legends don’t need to compete, they only need to remind the world how it’s done, and fans whispered that this wasn’t just a comment but a masterclass in grace.
