Although just a rumor a few weeks ago, we can now confirm that the Eagles and Jimmy Buffett will be joining forces to tour in 2018. However, the fun doesn’t stop there. James Taylor joins the Eagles for a few dates in late June 2018.
The Eagles began as the touring band for Linda Ronstadt in the late 60s, leaving Linda to go it alone in 1971. The band has sold more than 160 million records, earning six Grammy Awards, chosen to be honored at the 2015 Kennedy Center (postponed till 2016, regrettably Glenn Fry died before the actual ceremony) and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
Jimmy Buffett, on the other hand, has traveled a different road to fame and fortune, growing up in Mobile Alabama, playing in garage bands until setting out on his own in the early 70s. Jimmy has parlayed his talents to make a fortune in the business world while remaining true to his beach music.
