    I don't think they need female back up singers. When they do a solo show they need some back up harmonies, The Eagles do their own harmonies, they don't need the female backup singers. The Stones do that because they are lacking in the vocal department, the Eagles aren't. They have full back up band, they don't need anything more than that.

    I also think that maybe some of the other band members can sing some of Glenn's leads. I'm not thrilled with anyone replacing Glenn. Anyone they bring up just doesn't seem suitable. Don't really want some famous country singer stepping into this to sing Glenns songs. Don, Timothy & Joe can all sing. Not the same as Glenn's voice but it would still be a band member.

Now, to see who the friends are.
    Joe has confirmed it's happening then?! Wow. The longer it's gone without an official statement, I felt like it couldn't be true. Oh my.

    Without going off topic the Stones have precisely two backing singers, Bernard Fowler & Lisa Fischer, and Fischer is there mainly for Gimme Shelter.

    Whatever happens I will struggle to have even the most rudimentary interest in it.

    As for the comment above about WANTING & NEEDING to play together I cannot understand why they wish to do this without Glenn Frey.

    The music publication NME here in the U.K. say the Eagles are one of the acts rumoured to be playing the Legends slot at this year's Glastonbury festival.
    Wishful thinking I'm assuming!

    Pollstar have now removed their listing for the Classic East and West festivals. Hopefully just waiting for the official announcement.

    Given that Henley will only just have finished a solo tour (June 18th), I can't see him being ready for an Eagles concert on a different continent a few days later.

    Anyone who's had a solo career appreciates the chance to play without being the boss, calling all the shots and carrying all the responsibility.

    The Eagles, including their entourage will be a huge team. As I see it, most of them will defer to the musicians the musicians will defer to the band members. Joe and Tim defer to Glenn and Don. Don deferred to Glenn. Somewhere, Irving's devilish powers of persuasion carry a hefty clout too.

    The wonderful thing about being in the Eagles is that the collective is more rewarding than the solo stuff. It's the music business at the very top of the tree. It's what they've been used to for decades.

    There are thousands and thousands of musicians who aspire to thrive in the music business. From all those, I bet you could count on your fingers and toes those who would refuse a chance to be on stage as the Eagles. Even Bernie and Randy who actually did chuck it in, in the seventies, have had second thoughts. Despite all the friction and negativity, and suing the band in court, I'm sure Felder would jump at the opportunity too.

    It's not why they wish to, it's, presented with the chance by Irving, it's why wouldn't they.

    First, I don't think we're talking about the Eagles, but Eagles Family & Friends which is a different entity. In my eyes at least.

    I do agree that there are lots of reasons why they would want to play together again.

    BTW: I think that John Lydon would refuse a chance to be on stage as the Eagles.

    I know you took some convincing to acknowledge that these gigs were actually going to take place AT. I'll believe the billing when I see the posters.

    It'll be;
    The Eagles
    + Family And Friends

    wont it
