Although the Eagles have officially resumed their Hotel California tour just last week, Deacon Frey, the son of Glenn Frey who has been performing with the band since the founding member’s death, will be missing multiple dates due to an undisclosed illness.

“Due to illness, Deacon Frey will not be performing with the Eagles during their ‘Hotel California 2022 Tour’ kicking off Saturday, February 19th at the Enmarket Arena in Savannah, Georgia,” the band announced. “Deacon’s bandmates will take over his tour duties in his absence. Deacon rejoining the band for performances will be based on his recovery and doctor’s recommendations.”

Deacon was brought into the band on Don Henley’s instinct to have “family blood in the band.”

“I have to hand it to Deacon,” Henley said of the 26-year old. “He had done some gigs with his father – private parties, in front of maybe 200 people. To go from that to 50,000 people is extraordinary. I don’t know many people who could have done that without freaking out.”

The Hotel California tour is set to continue until May 25th before heading to Europe.
