Does Deacon Frey still play with the Eagles?

The Eagles, in what is shaping up to be a monumental farewell, have officially declared their final tour, fittingly named “The Long Goodbye.” This legendary rock band is embarking on a journey that promises to be nothing short of epic, encompassing a series of 13 concert dates. What makes this tour even more special is the presence of fellow Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, Steely Dan, who will be joining them on this musical odyssey. The tour is set to unfold over the course of several years, with the grand finale anticipated in 2025.

At the helm of The Eagles is co-founding member Don Henley, leading a lineup that includes longtime members Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit, as well as more recent additions Vince Gill and Deacon Frey. Gill and Frey became part of the band’s legacy in 2017, stepping in following the untimely passing of Deacon’s father and Eagles co-founder, Glenn Frey. While Deacon Frey briefly left the band in 2022, he has now made a triumphant return for “The Long Goodbye.”

The tour’s inaugural performance is slated to take place on September 7th of this year at the illustrious Madison Square Garden in New York City. From there, The Eagles and Steely Dan will grace arenas in several iconic locations, including Boston, Newark, N.J., and Belmont Park, N.Y., all within the same month. The journey continues into October with performances planned for Denver, Indianapolis, Detroit, and Cleveland. November will bring the tour to Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh, and Lexington, ensuring that fans across the country have the opportunity to witness this historic musical event.

As The Eagles bid farewell with “The Long Goodbye,” it is an occasion not to be missed for music enthusiasts and fans of timeless rock classics. This tour represents a fitting conclusion to a legendary career, and it promises to be a testament to the enduring power of their music.
