Sad news.

I've seen the Eagles 3 times in the last 8 years, and they have easily filled the 3 hours that they do, and they are the best concerts I've ever been to.

Hearing "Desperado" with the lights down is an experience.

Sad news this morning - late 60s seems a problematic age these days

Sad news yesterday, as well as well as Dale Griffin from Mott the Hoople and today Mic Gillette from Tower of Power

Not a good couple of weeks.

Had Hell Freezes Over on at work this morning. Absolutely incredible album.

being a glam rocker back in the day ,i loved the hoople .seems everybody from my youth is either a pervert or dying off these days.

And the ironic thing is they had obviously paid very close attention to the chords in Moonage Daydream by Bowie for Hotel California.

Yep, rock 'n' roll having a bad start to 2016 with yet another casualty.

Loved The Eagles.

Sad times 😞

Harsh winter could wipe out most of the forum

Caught this news late last night. Terrible loss to the music world.

I was (am) a massive fan of The Eagles. I thought Don Henley's tribute was very nice indeed. Lovely words.

Thought you were beyond that age!:rofl:

I'm on the cusp as they say, retired from music after 45 years by public demand :rofl:
So i think i'm safe for the time being, as it seems to be all the good ones going first.:smirk:

Very sad. Love the Eagles stuff and one of the few groups I wish I'd seen live

Homer, if they still tour without him, still go.

They dont normally have a support band, but do 3 hours of great songs.

What Liverbirdie said.

I saw the Beach Boys back in 2001 in Seattle - it was Basically just Mike Love and some other guys, but if you'd closed your eyes, you'd NEVER have known the difference. One of the best gigs I've ever been to.

I'll bear that. Do you realistically think that will happen though and they tour again?

Possibly, they have toured in the Uk approx 3 times in the last 8 years or so, so maybe the're enjoying it or need the money.

However, this may change with Glen's death, although as someone famous once said.........yeah, when hell freezes over.
