Remaining Eagles honor Glenn Frey at the Grammy Awards

I wonder if Steuart and the guys will be there too, or will it be stripped down?

[sodascouts]

It's only right that they honor him. It will indeed be hard to watch.

I think this is exactly the right way to honor Glenn. These guys wil be honored to pay this tribute to their friend. We can be proud of them all!!!

[NOLA]

Really looking forward to this, although as others have already said, it will be heart-wrenching, indeed. However, I feel that Glenn will be watching, too.😊

... and only Jackson could have taken the lead on Take it Easy.

Totally true!

[Jonny Come Lately]

It will be very strange and extremely sad watching them perform without Glenn, but I'm glad that they are doing this, it's a perfect tribute and I think they couldn't have made a better choice than Jackson for this song. I had no intention of watching the Grammys (not my sort of thing), but I will make sure I see this performance.

MC, I have no claims to insider knowledge but my guess would be that there would be a couple of backing musicians but no more than that, and it wouldn't surprise me too much if it was just the main players, as TIE is well suited to a 4- or 5-piece band. The musicians involved in performances of the song on the last tour may give some indication, but bear in mind that Jackson will be there so my guess is he'd either play acoustic guitar or piano, as will Bernie who was not part of the tours prior to HOTE. Also, given that Don usually plays drums on TIE I'm not sure if Scott Crago needs to play, and the song does not need a string section, so it would probably only be a couple of additional guitars or keyboards in the background.

Just noting an event that takes place on the Sunday.

Clive Davis' pre-Grammy gala (sponsored by the Recording Academy and this year honoring manager Irving Azoff with its Salute to Industry Icons Award)

So will they be performing as "The Eagles"...a new line-up? Will they announce that they are breaking up?

It is a tribute to Glenn Frey. Can't we leave it at that?

[UndertheWire]

Eagles founding singer, songwriter and guitarist Glenn Frey will be saluted during Monday’s 58th Grammy Awards ceremony by his bandmates as well as close friend and songwriting collaborator Jackson Browne.
Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit and Bernie Leadon will join Browne to sing the Eagles’ first national hit, “Take It Easy,” the anthem of Southern California country rock that put the band on the map in 1972.

It's that simple.
