The Eagles are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1971 by Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie
Leadon and Randy Meisner.
They are one of the worlds best-selling bands of all time, having sold more than 150 million records - 100 million
in the U.S. alone.

The Eagles disbanded in July 1980 but reunited in 1994 for the album Hell Freezes Over, a mix of live and
