Deacon Frey

Son of the late Glenn Frey, who'd been playing with the band since 2017, previously announced he was stepping away from touring.

He joined the band in 2017, one year after his father's death.

Length of his absence "will be based on his recovery and doctor’s recommendations.”

Don Henley said it would have been impossible for the Eagles to keep going after the death of Glenn Frey if they hadn’t recruited “family blood."

Glenn Frey's son Deacon is apparently joining the Eagles when they play the Classic East and Classic West music festivals this summer.

Don Henley is stressing that the Eagles are finished, despite an earlier suggestion that they might reform with the late Glenn Frey's son.
