After spending much of the summer on the road with the other members of the Eagles, Don Henley sets out alone for a series of Northeast dates that begin in early October.
Henley begins the jaunt with benefit performances in Boston and New York City, where he will share the stage with a roster of artists that includes Sheryl Crow, John Mellencamp and Sting. Net proceeds from both shows will benefit the family of recently deceased Billboard magazine editor Timothy White, who in June died of a heart attack at the age of 50.
Prior to the solo run, Henley joins the Eagles for a late-September, one-off performance in Colorado Springs, where the group is christening that city’s new World Arena with the venue’s first rock concert.
The forthcoming solo dates mark Henley’s latest batch of post-Eagles-tour performances. In late July, he played a handful of California shows.
Henley’s most-recent solo effort is 2000’s “Inside Job,” which received three Grammy nominations. Earlier this year, Henley told Billboard that the Eagles were working on their first album of new material since 1979’s “The Long Run.” The group has not announced specific release plans.
