BAD NEWS for those of you who really hate the effin' Eagles, man.
Glenn Frey’s Son to Join the Eagles
http://ultimateclassicrock.com/glenn-frey-son-eagles/
Glenn Frey‘s son Deacon is apparently joining the Eagles when they play the Classic East and Classic West music festivals this summer.
In an interview with Dallas radio station KTCK, Don Henley confirmed that Frey’s son will replace his late father when the reunited Eagles take the stage at the two festivals in July. Henley had earlier suggested that Deacon Frey would be part of the band, but then said he wouldn’t.
Henley told show host Mike Rhyner (via Best Classic Bands) that he wasn’t supposed to say anything, but then admitted, “There’s going to be an official announcement in a few days but let’s just do it here. Glenn’s son Deacon is a very talented young man, and he seems to be up for the task. He’s enthusiastic about it and he’s been working real hard on it, and he’s gonna do it with us. I think that’s appropriate.”
Henley then clarified his decision by citing “an old system both in Eastern and Western culture called the guild system, where the father is the master and the son is the apprentice. The trade, the craft, the business is handed down from father to son. I think it’s the only appropriate way to carry on. I don’t think I’d do it otherwise. Since it’s Glenn’s blood, it’s his son, I think that’s appropriate. There’ll be one more musician along for the ride too, but I’m not gonna say who that is.”
