Don Henley Says 2026 Will Probably Mark the Eagles’ Final Year

He cites a shift toward family, travel plus personal projects in a CBS Sunday Morning interview.

Overview

  • Henley told CBS Sunday Morning he believes this year will be the band's last, framing it as a likely endpoint rather than a formal retirement announcement.
  • The Eagles’ remaining schedule includes Sphere weekends in Las Vegas through March 27–28 and a May 2 set at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
  • Explaining his outlook, Henley said he wants more time with family, time to grow vegetables, and the chance to actually see the places he has toured.
  • The group’s hit Sphere residency began in 2024 and is on track to total 56 shows, with consistent sellouts noted by local coverage.
  • Context for the moment includes Glenn Frey’s 2016 death and Vince Gill’s touring role, Deacon Frey’s onstage contributions, and the ‘Greatest Hits (1971–1975)’ album’s new quadruple-diamond mark.
