    Default Eagles Mentions in the Press - Retro Edition!

    It's interesting to look at old mentions of the band and see how things have changed, isn't it? Here's a thread for that!

    People Magazine - January 15, 1990

    BANDING BIRDS

    Although their representatives won't confirm it, sources close to Glenn Frey and Don Henley say the two former Eagles will meet later this month and begin writing songs together with an eye toward an album and a possible tour.

    Frey and Henley co-founded the Eagles in 1971 and remained the principal songwriters in the band until its demise in 1982. Both musicians prospered as solo artists during the '80s, but the sum of the parts never quite equaled the success of the whole.

    Henley, whose most recent album was The End of the Innocence, is concluding a tour of Japan and Taiwan. Frey for the past several years has been battling diverticulitis, an intestinal inflammation, and underwent surgery just before Christmas to have two inches of his intestine removed. He spent the holidays recuperating at his mother's house in Florida but plans to get together with Henley as soon as he's up and around.

    It's expected that the other former Eagles, including guitarist Joe Walsh, will not be in on the reunion effort.

    [OK, that makes no sense. If the other former Eagles aren't in on the reunion effort - who's going to do it besides Glenn and Don??? Oh well, moot point, eh? And I didn't realize Glenn had his first surgery right before Christmas in 1989. Yikes!]

    Yeah, and he had another one in 1994, poor guy. It was so bad they had to cancel shows for a few months while Glenn recovered. Seems to have gotten it under control, though.

    That's awful, but of coarse he is okay now, and that's the best thing.

    I've always suspected that Timothy's abdominal surgery was also for diverticulitis. It is a side effect of cocaine use. Not accusing these guys of that, of course, but TBS's description of his illness and decision to "not overshare" just made me wonder...Certainly his his recovery was not as long as Glenn's (or my friend's who had the same surgery), so it could be that I'm completely wrong.

    This is about a journalist's experience with attending the HFO reunion special and the "top secret" nature of it - pretty funny!

    Yes. They do make it difficult for the press sometimes.

    Please forgive me for this but I noticed that Lover's Moon was referred to as 'stirring' (so was Desperado). After all these years I remain totally bewildered as to its exclusion and to that of PEF. It's interesting to hear someone from the press be positive about it. Who knows.... if the band had read more like that...
