On June 26, 2022, the Eagles took over London’s Hyde Park as headliners for the British Summer Time (BST) festival, delivering a soul-stirring performance that struck a chord with fans old and new. The night carried extra weight as Deacon Frey, son of the late Glenn Frey, made a surprise return to the stage, paying heartfelt tribute to his father’s enduring legacy.
After stepping back from the band earlier in the year, Deacon’s reappearance was a powerful moment. Performing classics like “Take It Easy” and “Peaceful Easy Feeling,” he bridged generations, reminding fans that Glenn’s spirit still lives within the music. His presence brought an added layer of emotion to an already unforgettable evening.
With a setlist packed with legendary hits—“Hotel California,” “Desperado,” “Life in the Fast Lane”—the band showcased the harmonies and musicianship that made them icons. Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, and Vince Gill joined Deacon in delivering a performance that was both technically brilliant and emotionally resonant, captivating the crowd of over 55,000.
One especially poignant moment came when Henley dedicated “The Boys of Summer” to the late Foo Fighters drummer, Taylor Hawkins. The tribute highlighted the deep bonds that connect artists across generations and genres.
The Eagles’ Hyde Park show was more than a concert—it was a tribute to legacy, a celebration of music’s power to heal and unite, and a reminder that their journey is far from over. With Deacon back by their side, the future of the Eagles remains as moving as their past.
