In April, the band announced the departure of Deacon Frey, son of the band’s late co-founder Glenn Frey. They also expressed their gratitude towards the 28-year-old singer, who filled in for his late father for almost four and a half years.
In a statement, the band said:
"In the wake of his dad's demise, Deacon, at age 24, did an extraordinary thing by stepping from relative anonymity into the very public world of his father's long illustrious career. We are grateful to Deacon for his admirable efforts and we wish him well as he charts his future."
The further added saying
"Deacon's Eagles family will always be here to surround him with love, support and goodwill, and he is always welcome to join us onstage at any future concerts if he so desires. We hope our fans will join us in wishing Deacon the very best as he moves into the next phase of his career."
