Don Henley Suggests Eagles’ Final Tour Could Be in 2026
Don Henley, the last original member of the Eagles, recently suggested that 2026 might mark the end of the band’s journey. In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, he expressed, “I think this will probably be it.” This statement highlights the Eagles’ long tenure, particularly their extensive touring over the past decade.
Future Plans for the Eagles
The Eagles have several upcoming performances scheduled this year. When questioned if 2026 would be their final year, Henley affirmed, “I think so, yeah. And I am OK with that.” He indicated a desire to focus more on family and personal interests, stating, “Because I would like to spend more time with my family, and I would like to spend more time growing vegetables.”
Travel Aspirations
Henley also expressed a longing to explore more during his downtime. He mentioned the repetitive nature of life on the road, reflecting, “We see the airports and the hotel room and the venue, and we don’t get out much.” His ambition is to revisit locations he has enjoyed and uncover new experiences.
Personal Life and Priorities
Highlighting the importance of family, Henley shared that his responsibilities include four children and a grandchild. He remarked, “There’s just lots of other things to do,” emphasizing his wish for a more multifaceted life beyond music.
A Band with a History
This discussion about the band’s future isn’t entirely new. The Eagles famously separated in 1980, only to reunite in 1994 for new music and tours. Since then, they have remained active, releasing a studio album in 2007 and embarking on several farewell tours.
Upcoming Concerts in 2026
The Eagles currently have nine remaining shows planned for their concert series. Most of these performances will take place at Las Vegas’ Sphere, where they have been on residency since 2024. The concert dates are as follows:
- February 20, 2026 (Friday)
- February 21, 2026 (Saturday)
- February 27, 2026 (Friday)

- March 20, 2026 (Friday)

Additionally, the band has a concert set for May 2, 2026, at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, marking what may be one of their last formal performances. As time progresses, fans look forward to the Eagles’ concluding chapter, led by Henley’s heartfelt reflection on life and legacy.
