The Eagles split up after Glenn Frey and Don Felder nearly broke into fisticuffs onstage in Long Beach, California. Angry at the way Felder spoke to Senator Alan Cranston earlier in the day, tensions were high onstage between the two. Frey later recalled. “We’re out there singing ‘Best of My Love’, but inside both of us are thinking, ‘As soon as this is over, I’m gonna kill him.’ That was when I knew I had to get out.” After the show ended, Felder smashed what Frey later described as “a cheap guitar” against the wall backstage and sped away in a limo. The group went their separate ways, with Frey enjoying a highly successful solo career in which he placed seven songs on the Billboard Top 40 between 1982 and 1988. Don Henley would do the same, putting ten singles on the chart between 1981 and 1992. As for Felder, he issued a low selling album, “Airborne” in 1983.
Don Felder was a nut job Republican. I would have never guessed.
I assumed Henley and Frey were right wingers because of all their Alpha Male talk in interviews.
