The Felder Situation

We probably get about 10 e-mails a week asking us where Don Felder is. We know that we've sort of assumed by now that everyone has heard about the situation (or read about it) so this page is an attempt to inform anyone that is just coming in on this. We also want to let the facts speak for themselves. That's why we'll be including bits of the actual lawsuits. There are also links so you can follow the cases as they move through the court system. When we put up this information, we were amazed at how many people reacted to it in a violent way. Putting up unbiased facts is not "slamming" any member of the band.
Please note: This page is here for information purposes only. We hope that our site visitors have the common sense to realize that documents from Felder's side are only that: his side. They are not the whole story. If we had documents from the other side, we would present those as well. This is not an attempt to take sides or to tabloidize the band problems. It is only so that long-time fans of the band can get a better understanding of what is going on.

Just The Facts

Don Felder is no longer a member of the Eagles

He was fired in February of 2001

Upon being fired he sued Henley/Frey for wrongful termination, breach of contract and a few other things.

Don Felder signed a contract to publish a book.

Henley and Frey counter-sued Felder for breach of contract.

The case had various angles which resulted in the California Supreme Court getting involved.

The case is set to go to trial in September of 2005.

 

The Lawsuit

There are actually two lawsuits. The first was filed on February 8th and seems to be in immediate reaction to the firing. The second lawsuit was filed in May and is a much more detailed case that details all of the wrongs ever done to Felder by Henley and Frey.
