Back in November, Eagles announced that they would extend their run at the Sphere in Las Vegas. The tour will now extend into March this year, after the band announced extra dates on the 20th, 21st, 27th and 28th.

To be more precise, his exact words were “I'll tell you this, I'm not holding my breath".
Don Felder served as an Eagles bandmember from 1974 to 2001. Despite ensuing legal battles and rows with former colleagues, Felder remains on good terms with them.
“I really kind of buried all the hatchets in 2000,” Felder explained. “One of the things about writing my book... it was a very cathartic process and was very liberating, it set me free to realize I don't want to carry that stuff with me for the rest of my life. I don't want to have grudges and anger and hatred and all that stuff. I want to be free of that".
“I have no conversations with them about any of that,” he said of a possible return. “I'm going on living my life and being as happy as I can be doing what I do and I really enjoy it". More on this from Nova here.
