Out of all of the Eagles, Don Henley has had the most successful solo career. After the group initially broke up in 1982, Henley released his first solo album, I Can’t Stand Still. The album launched the Number Three single “Dirty Laundry” and went gold. Building the Perfect Beast followed two years later and established Henley as a solo star in his own right. Featuring the Top Ten hits “Boys of Summer” and “All She Wants to Do Is Dance,” as well as “Sunset Grill,” the album sold over two million copies. Henley’s third album, 1989’s The End of the Innocence, was his most ambitious, as well as most commercially successful. The album sold over three million copies and stayed on the charts for nearly three years, launching the hit singles “The End of the Innocence,” “Heart of the Matter,” “New York Minute” and “The Last Worthless Evening.” Henley reunited with the Eagles in 1994, embarking on a worldwide tour. The group released a live album called Hell Freezes Over and was a major success, selling over five million copies. However, the group opted to take another hiatus during the decade’s latter half, and Henley continued working on his fourth solo album, finally issued in mid-2000 under the title Inside Job. He then resumed working with the Eagles, contributing to the band’s new studio album, 2007’s Long Road Out of Eden, and touring heavily in support. Don released Cass County in 2015. The Eagles and Don remain one of the world’s biggest draws filling arenas and stadiums everywhere they go.
