Eagles<\/a> fans couldn’t believe it when the long-feuding group announced they were reuniting for a tour in 1994. The reunion was a smash success, but unfortunately for some fans, it got cut short when the band was forced to cancel some of the later dates.<\/p>\n On Oct. 3, 1994, the Eagles announced that they were suspending the final dates of their humorously-named Hell Freezes Over Tour due to singer-guitarist Glenn Frey<\/a>‘s illness.<\/p>\n The tour was the band’s first since 1980’s The Long Run<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>album, after which they dissolved in rancor for nearly 15 years. The Hell Freezes Over\u00a0Tour followed a\u00a0brief reunion<\/a>\u00a0for the video for\u00a0Travis Tritt<\/a>‘s version of “Take It Easy” in 1994, which served as the catalyst for their decision to reunite in the Long Run<\/em>-era lineup of Frey, Don Henley<\/a>, Joe Walsh, Don Felder and Timothy B. Schmit.<\/p>\n According to the Oklahoma City Oklahoman<\/em><\/a>, Frey was suffering from a “chronic gastrointestinal disorder,” which was later revealed to be a recurrence of diverticulitis. The band rescheduled the remaining dates for 1995.<\/p>\n Frey\u00a0later spoke publicly <\/a>about his intestinal issues, which he attributed to his previous use of drugs and alcohol. In 1986, he had missed a reunion with Henley\u00a0due to his\u00a0ailments, and in 1990 he underwent surgery to remove a large part of his intestine.<\/p>\n Frey would undergo surgery again in 2015<\/a>, which forced the band to re-schedule accepting the Kennedy Center Honors. Sadly, he did not live to see that ceremony; Frey\u00a0died<\/a>\u00a0in January of 2016 at the age of 67\u00a0from\u00a0complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia.<\/p>\n Most fans and even the band members themselves assumed the Eagles were finished with Frey’s death, but on July 15, 2017, they regrouped in a new lineup that included Frey’s son, Deacon, and\u00a0Vince Gill<\/a>,\u00a0playing their first show together<\/a>\u00a0at\u00a0Classic West at\u00a0Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n Gill had previously helped\u00a0tribute the Eagles at the 2016\u00a0Kennedy Center Honors<\/a>\u00a0alongside\u00a0Ringo Starr<\/a>,\u00a0Bob Seger<\/a>,\u00a0Steve Vai<\/a>\u00a0and Kings of Leon, with a performance of “Life in the Fast Lane.”<\/p>\nWhen Did the Eagles Reunite?<\/h3>\n
