Comeback after Frey’s death
Following the death of Frey in January 2016, Henley stated in several interviews that he did not think the band would perform again. However, the Eagles continued performing from 2017 with guest musicians Deacon Frey (son of Glenn) and Vince Gill.
In March 2017, it was announced that the band would be headlining the Classic West and Classic East concert events in July 2017, which were organized by their manager Irving Azoff. Glenn Frey’s son Deacon performed in Glenn’s place, along with country musician Vince Gill. At the Classic West concert on July 15, the band was joined by Bob Seger who sang “Heartache Tonight”, which he co-wrote. Deacon Frey was noted for his composure and precision.
