Don Henley

Biography
News

Donald Hugh Henley (born July 22, 1947 in Gilmer, Texas) is an American rock musician who is the drummer and one of the lead singers and songwriters of the band Eagles. Since the 80?s he had a successful solo career and has played a founding role in several causes. Henley's music often is running social commentary. One of his more famous songs is "Dirty Laundry." Its origins date back to 1980, when Henley was put on probation for possession of a narcotic and fined for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The ensuing media circus and on-air pundits claiming that his career was over led to the writing of the song, which continues to be an indictment against the broadcast news media. Similarly, "Johhny Can't Read", also on his Can't Stand Still album, continues to resound as a commentary on the educational system. In 2005 Henley toured with The Eagles. He has a new solo album due out at the end of the Eagles' tour of Europe at the end of 2006.

September 9, 2011

"The time has come" for artist to prepare for a potential battle with the record labels, warns The Eagles' Don Henley.? While Henley certainly could recite a litany of grievances, the battle he's warning about is the provision in U.S. Copyright Law that could allow musicians to gain control of their masters 35 years after they were released. The clock started ticking in 1978. So in 2013, the major labels could potentially loose the right to release classic 1978 albums ...
