The Eagles close to finishing new album

It's only been 28 years since the Eagles put out a new record, but the drought could be ending soon. Singer-drummer Don Henley performed at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday (January 27th), and he told the crowd that the band was close to finishing the project. Some reports have him saying the album would be done in the next two or three months, while others quote him as saying, "It's coming out in 60 to 90 days." Of course, Henley also said the record would get finished "if we don't kill each other first."

Henley also told the crowd that he'd see them again over the summer, which some people think means an Eagles tour.

There's been no definitive word on the status of the album, which they've been making for years, or whether a tour is in the works.

The last set of all-new material from the Eagles was The Long Run, which came out in 1979. But the band did include some new songs late last year on a version of their Farewell I Tour -- Live From Melbourne DVD that's only available through Wal-Mart.
