The Eagles - who once said they'd only reunite if Hell froze over - revealed plans for more shows to spotlight their Hotel California album this year.
And, as he has done for the last several years, country icon Vince Gill is joining them. Other members include Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit. The men will guide the touring band, orchestra and choir through the "Hotel California" album that was released in 1976 and a few of the band's greatest hits.
When Gill started playing with the group after Glenn Frey passed away, Gill endured a significant amount of venom from fans who didn't believe he should be on stage with the group. Frey died in 2016, and Gill started playing with The Eagles in 2017.
"Because Glenn was a great friend, and in my heart of hearts, I wish I wasn't doing it," Gill said during an interview at the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum. "That would mean Glenn would still be around, but life is what it is, and you just go do what you can do because of what happens. Those songs deserve to live on as long as they can."
Frey's son Deacon Frey also played with The Eagles but won't be on the new concert dates.
Six new shows have been tacked on to the 2023 tour dates originally announced in November of 2021. The Eagles will now play 13 shows in 2023, including stops in California, Oregon, South Carolina and Tennessee.
The tour is currently set to end April 7.
Tickets for these new Hotel California Tour dates will go on sale January 13 at 10 a.m. local time.
