Co-founding member Don Henley will be joined by longtime members Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit as well as more recent additions Vince Gill and Deacon Frey. Both Vince and Deacon came aboard in 2017 following the death of Deacon’s father, Eagles’ co-founder Glenn Frey. Deacon Frey departed the Eagles in 2022 but is back in the fold for The Long Goodbye Tour.

The Eagles penned a note signed “With love and gratitude” heralding the tour which reads:

“The Eagles have had a miraculous 52-year odyssey, performing for people all over the globe; keeping the music alive in the face of tragic losses, upheavals and setbacks of many kinds. Credit and thanks go to our longtime management team, our dedicated road crew, and our exceptional backup musicians for providing skilled and steadfast support, throughout these many years. We know how fortunate we are, and we are truly grateful. Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle. The official farewell tour is currently in the planning stages. We want to give all our fans a chance to see us on this final round. So, scheduling information will be released as dates are set. The difficulties of booking venues for multiple nights may require us to return to certain cities, depending on demand. But, we hope to see as many of you as we can, before we finish up. Most importantly, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for embracing this band and its music. At the end of the day, you are the reason we have been able to carry on for over five decades. This is our swan song, but the music goes on and on.”

The Eagles broke up in 1980. After 14 years, the group reunited in 1994 for the Hell Freezes Over tour and album. Don Henley hinted that the Eagles were done touring in interviews given following Glenn Frey’s January 2016 death. In July 2017 the band reformed with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey handling vocals sung by Glenn Frey before his death and have tour sporadically since.
