Deacon Frey leaves the Eagles

 

Deacon Frey stepped into his father's place in the Eagles after Glenn Frey died. After nearly five years as a member, the 27 year old guitarist wants to pursue his own career. The announcement of his departure makes it clear how deep the appreciation for him is within the group and that his now former band mates have nothing but good wishes for him in the future.

 

"Deacon Frey has devoted the past 4½ years to carrying on his father’s legacy and, after some weeks of reflection, he now feels that it is time for him to forge his own path. We understand, completely, and we support him in whatever he wishes to pursue in the years ahead. In the wake of his dad’s demise, Deacon, at age 24, did an extraordinary thing by stepping from relative anonymity into the very public world of his father’s long illustrious career. We are grateful to Deacon for his admirable efforts and we wish him well as he charts his future. Deacon’s Eagles Family will always be here to surround him with love, support and goodwill, and he is always welcome to join us onstage at any future concerts, if he so desires. We hope our fans will join us in wishing Deacon the very best as he moves into the next phase of his career."
