In the pantheon of Rock ‘n’ Roll, few bands have soared as high as The Eagles.

Quite simply, they’re one of the most enduring rock groups of all time. Even in our digital era, their signature song Hotel California has been downloaded over one million times.

Watch part two of The Eagles’ story

But the highs have been matched by terrible lows.

The Eagles kicked off in 1971 – broke up spectacularly ten years later – then went back on the road in 1994. And, more or less, that’s where they’ve been ever since.

Now they’re on their way back to Australia.

In this interview with Tara Brown, they’re sober, honest, funny, and boy, do they have some stories to tell.
