After 50 years of touring, The Eagles announced a farewell tour “The Long Goodbye.”
In a statement they shared,” 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 current lineup for The Eagles includes Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy Schmidt, Deacon Frey, and Vince Gill.
Steely Dan will join The Eagles as a special guest on all dates. The tour begins in September at Madison Square Gardens in New York.
As of now there are no dates in Nashville. The closest cities on the tour are Atlanta and Lexington. Presale tickets and VIP packages will be available starting Wednesday, July 12 for all announced shows. The general on-sale will start Friday, July 14 at 10:00 AM local time. Purchase tickets here.
