Can Otis sing ? Maybe he plans on Otis taking Deacon's place. As crazy as it sounds(and I know it's crazy), I would not but anything past them. And Austin, nor would I be surprised if just Vince tours after Deacon leaves. The fans are use to him now, and from various posts on Eagles FB pages, many fans consider Vince an Eagle now.
How old is Otis now - 16 or 17. I guess he must be tutored to be on the tour with them. Shun, what did Otis say in his interview. I notice he closed his Instagram account.

Some people gave him crap for doing Shakedown for Beverly Hills Cop II in the 80s and then again for letting GM/Chevy use Like A Rock for a number of years in it's commercials. They said he sold out. If that's selling out, then most can only hope to sell out to his level! Shakedown, while a departure from the sound he is known for, is a great song and it sold a LOT. It was his only number 1 hit in fact. In fact, it did better than The Heat Is On from the first movie, which stayed at number 2. Most of the people that were salty about Like A Rock being used on a Chevy commercial were Ford fans, lol. General Motors and Chevrolet have always stood above the Ford Motor Company and there are a lot of back and forth between the two camps. Chevy is better though, don't let anyone fool you. :lol: My entire family are diehard GM/Chevy people.
I saw an interview(print) years ago with Bob where he said he let Chevy use his song because his Dad had worked at GM as an engineer.

I know Don said he wouldn't continue the "Eagles" without "blood," but Don says a lot of things. The possibility of such statements becoming "foolish consistencies" always hangs in the air.
I don't think Don will look for anyone else. Here's what I think: Deacon was invited, at least in part, to win over any reticent fans who they feared wouldn't come without Glenn there. They realize now most fans have no problem attending a show without Glenn. Now they can feel free to continue without Deacon, and without a "blood" replacement.

Otis is 17. He moved his Instagram account to @otisfreyofficial. I don't think Otis is looking to be in that part of the Eagles... but that's just guessing on my part.

I'm curious about this, too. I'm surprised they haven't started selling tickets for it yet. Maybe they're still trying to cement performers for it so they can advertise it effectively and maximize ticket sales. Certainly, with Don on board, they'd sell more tickets for the vets. He knows that, so he'll probably do it unless he has another commitment. He is a generous man in that regard.

Plus he's right there in Texas. That's a hop, skip and a jump on the plane to Houston. I'm guessing an hour flight. I don't know how long it take to get there on plane. So I wouldn't be surprised if he's back again this year. I doubt he has anything else in November unless he's doing a private show.
They probably will announced who's playing VetsAid something next month.

Oh I don’t think Don cares at this point...

I don’t think so NKIT but I don’t know for sure.
The idea that some might consider Vince an Eagle makes me all kinds of queasy! So icky to me.

Agree entirely with you Soda. I always thought Deacon was the bait in a way.
