Eagles extend Sphere residency due to ‘overwhelming demand’

Eagles have extended their Las Vegas residency at the state-of-the-art Sphere until January 2025.

The ‘Get Over It’ rockers have set 20 shows between September 20 and January 25, due to “overwhelming demand”.

Tickets are priced from $175.

Don Henley and co’s Sphere residency follows those by U2, Phish, and Dead and Company.

Veteran rockers U2 played 40 gigs at the futuristic venue with the run coming to an end in March.

Last summer, founding member Randy Meisner sadly passed away aged 77, following a long period of ill health.

The bassist – who formed the band in the early 1970s alongside Don, Don Felder, Glenn Frey, and Bernie Leadon – passed away due to complications from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The band said in a statement shared to their website: “The Eagles are sad to report that founding member, bassist, and vocalist, Randy Meisner, passed away last night (July 26) in Los Angeles at age 77, due to complications from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD).

“As the original bass player for the pioneering country-rock group, Poco, Randy was at the forefront of the musical revolution that began in Los Angeles, in the late 1960s…

“Randy was an integral part of the Eagles and instrumental in the early success of the band. His vocal range was astonishing, as is evident on his signature ballad, ‘Take It to the Limit’.”

Randy quit the band in 1977 and was replaced by Timothy B. Schmit, the same person who had taken on bass playing duties when the musician had left his previous group Poco. He went on to release a number of solo albums, including a self-titled record in 1978 and ‘One More Song’ in 1980.

Although he wasn’t part of the ‘Desperado’ hitmakers’ reunion tour in 1994, he appeared beside his former bandmates in 1998 when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in New York, where they performed ‘Hotel California’ and ‘Take It Easy’.

He was invited to take part in the ‘History of the Eagles’ world tour in 2013 but had to decline due to his health issues.
