Now that it's been confirmed, I expect any embargo has been lifted but no comments as yet.
Does anybody have Sirius Radio, Joe's on The Craig Ferguson Show next week.

Does he need 'his' songs? He only had one lead vocal and a bit of lead guitar on HOTE yet was out there for 14 songs IIRC. It was genuinely wonderful to see him back in the fold and I believe Glenn told him that it wasn't over so I can't see why they'd omit him again. Even if he just stands in as an extra rhythm guitarist and vocal harmony he'd definitely be an asset to proceedings.
(Edit - see his inclusion on Hotel California at the RRHOF induction)
If this happens I would like to see Bernie included.

I'n not sure this counts as confirmation, although the absence of a statement saying it's untrue after a week could be seen as confirmation.
So it seems that Azoff has found a way of making it acceptable to Henley that they should perform as "Eagles" again. In several interviews, Henley has hinted that his solo tours don't make much money and I think it's obvious that performing at this show as "Eagles" will attract a much bigger fee and share of profits than "Don Henley" for much the same effort. Henley may be happy with being seen as just doing it for the money, but my guess is there will be some attempt to sell it in part as a tribute to Glenn with some of the profits given to charity in his name.
If it happens, I hope there will be more recognition of Glenn than the rather perfunctuary acknowledgement that Don has given in his solo shows. "This is for Glenn" and singing a song that he was always going to sing just wouldn't cut it. As for performing Glenn's songs, it would be appropriate to include a few.
And, the choir sang "Amen!"
Personally, I never doubted the "leak" right from the get-go, and I'll tell you why. There were two things that led to this observation.
(1) The "leak" occurred right after the Tom Petty Musiccares picture of Henley and Stevie was released. They looked so comfortable together-more so than when she poses with LindsayB that's for sure. I know so they looked "comfortable" big deal. True, true. It made me think though when the "leak" broke that the looks on both their faces might have signified a shared secret rather than the "The Look of Love."
(2) Henley didn't squelch the rumor. Henley ' s silence was, as they say, deafening to me. When Henley said nothing, I knew.
So let's all stand up and sing:
"If you're happy and you know it clap your hands. If you're happy and you know it clap your hands. If you're happy and you know it, let's all show it. If"
...well just Thank you God. Now let's rejoice and exhale the "warm smell of colitas, rising up in the air" we've been waiting to exhale for far too long. Onward! There is musical magic to be made before we fade!
Let's just all Rockaway Blind!
Stay Tuned!

I'm sorry, I can't join you in your celebrations. I accept that they are within their rights to move forward and to call themselves "Eagles". I also accept that there are many people who are looking forward to any version of the band, just as there are people who love Don Felder's tribute band. I can be thankful that Don, Joe and Timothy are still able and willing to perform. However, I do not feel like clapping and cheering; rather I feel sad and a little disappointed. I'm hoping that Don, Joe or Timothy will be able to give an explantion that will make sense of it for me.
I woke up last night @ 2:00 a.m. and for some unexplainable reason I got on FB and saw the news. I had a hard time going back to sleep. And it wasn't from excitement, it was from sadness. I have made plans to go if I can get a ticket but I am not sure it will be a totally joyous occasion except for seeing my friend.
