Don Felder, former Eagles guitarist, returns with first new solo album in nearly 30 years
Don Felder tells CBSNews.com about The Eagles, "Road to Forever" and the album's many guest stars
www.cbsnews.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting up to 2025–2026:
- Health update from a February 2025 incident: Don Felder suffered a medical episode on the Rock Legends Cruise attributed to dehydration, but he reported being treated and later stated he was “back 100 percent” and ready to perform again. This event prompted organizers to reschedule remaining cruise dates to allow rest, and Felder publicly thanked fans for their concern while confirming his recovery.[1][3]
- Subsequent activity: Felder released new music in the wake of the incident, including a tribute-oriented track related to his Eagles era and collaborating with other artists on higher-profile project cycles (news and interviews around mid-2025 into 2026 highlight his ongoing solo work and public remarks about his Eagles-era legacy). He also discussed his broader artistic output in media appearances and industry press during 2025–2026, continuing to tour selectively and promote his memoir and personal story.[7]
- Context on recent coverage: Coverage has emphasized his comeback after the dehydration episode, his reflections on the Eagles years, and his ongoing musical collaborations with notable rock figures, rather than ongoing medical concerns.[3][6][7]
If you’d like, I can pull the most current headlines from a live feed and summarize any developments after May 2025, or narrow to a specific format (brief news digest, timeline, or a quick bio). Also, I can provide citations for each item if you want verifiable sources.
