Remember When the Eagles Launched an Unlikely Reunion Tour?
The Eagles stunned fans and even themselves when they reunited in 1994. The band regrouped for a reunion tour they humorously titled the
Hell Freezes Over Tour that launched on May 27, 1994 — thanks in no small part to a country star.
The Eagles split acrimoniously in 1980 following the interminable and contentious sessions for
Eagles Live record to fulfill a contractual obligation even though they weren't on speaking terms. The band members all went on to varying degrees of success and failure as solo artists, with Don Henley and Glenn Frey scoring the biggest hits of the group. Henley and Frey had repeatedly said that they would never reunite, but that changed toward the end of 1993, when the Eagles' former manager, Irving Azoff, decided to release an Eagles tribute album featuring country artists revisiting the group's biggest hits via his label, Giant Records.
