So are they breaking up?!

[1EyedWick]

I do not mean to be rude or crass asking this question...and I actually do understand why for a few reasons BUT I do not understand on some levels why no one anywhere from what I can see has posted a simple question about The Eagles concerning Glenn's passing (R.I.P). Are the Eagles breaking up?! Are they continuing?! Why has not a single thought passed and been posted anywhere in the media or fans concerning this?! I'm dumbfounded.

Too soon to ask this IMO.

I personally think the Eagles are over. I always thought they would retire soon & stop touring. I never expected it to end like this. I can't see anyone replacing Glenn in the band.
I think they will all do solo work at their own pace, as they have really done all along, but as for the Eagles, I think it really is over.
They may at their solo shows do some more Eagle songs than they used to do, but that's it.

I can hardly wrap my mind around the whole thing. As if it hasn't really sunk in yet, & I am surprised myself at the extent this has hit me. Glenn was not my favorite Eagle, but he is irreplaceable, as far as I can see.
He will be greatly missed.

RIP Mr. Frey & thank you for all the wonderful music, concerts & memories

These were and are my thoughts as well...but needless to say...don't you all find it fascinating that not one media source or post has been done asking this simple and basic question concerning the subject at hand? I would have thought a simple mentioning of it would not have been too bad.

I would imagine that the Eagles are basically Glenn's group (right?) that that would be the end...at least for a period of time...but I do think that groups should at some point down the road should be allowed to continue.

Just posted my thoughts on this in the other thread where you asked.

I think it's too soon, but I don't see the Eagles touring without Glenn. Ever. Don has said it was Glenn's decision. It was Glenn's band.

I could see them coming together for benefits, maybe bring in an old friend like Jackson or JD to take Glenn's part but I'd be shocked if they would consider anything more. I'm kind of hoping they'll do a benefit in Glenn's name for research and treatment of auto-immune diseases.

It isn't a question of them being 'allowed' to continue. The gap is too great. Led Zeppelin did not continue after the death of John Bonham. This is even more significant.

In any case I doubt the remaining Eagles have been giving much thought to the question.

I can't foresee Don,Joe, or Timothy continuing to tour as "Eagles". There is no Eagles without Glenn. He founded the band, broke it up, and resumed it. Don Henley may be the voice to some folks, but Glenn was the backbone and heart of the band.

A tribute, yes, I would love that. (I hope that they would record it so that fans can buy it). For now though, I think that the guys aren't gonna do anything for a while.

I do not mean to be rude or crass either, but I think the real answer has been repeated several times in this thread – it’s too early to be asking these kinds of questions. It’s only been two days since Glenn’s passing and this should be a time for everyone to be dealing with that and focusing on paying tribute to him. I realize I may be super-sensitive right now, but that’s the reason we observe periods of mourning in our culture. As they say, there is a time and a place for everything – and this isn't it. There will be plenty of more appropriate times in the coming weeks and months for Don, Joe, and Timothy to sort through these matters and for fans to speculate. Besides, as GlennLover pointed out, Irving pretty much addressed the matter at least for now.

I think the Eagles run is over but they won't break up. It's just the book has ended.

Editing to add: I've been mourning the loss of Glenn and the loss of the Eagles. I knew that someday they would call it quits but I thought it would be after a concert in LA. (My dream was a final, taped concert at the Troubordour). I never thought the end would be a death.
