Don Felder of the Eagles Tells All

     The album “Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971–1975” (buy copy here) is the bestselling album of all time in the United States. Now Don Felder of the Eagles has finally broken the band’s lengthy public silence in a new memoir, Heaven and Hell:My Life in the Eagles (1974-2001).  It's tell-all, no holds barred.  "Heaven and Hell" provides a down & dirty, juicy, portrait of band leaders Don Henley and Glenn Frey, whom Felder shows as sadistic, self-involved, exploitive and endlessly greedy.  As expected, the pair haven't been quiet in response. They previously filed a lawsuit against Felder to keep the book from ever seeing the light of day, and almost succeeded. "Heaven and Hell" was to be published by Hyperion Books in 2006, but that they backed out.  Felder states the legal settlement he finally reached with Henley and Frey in May prevents him from talking about why the book came to be shelved by Hyperion or how it finally got published in the UK last November, and this month in the USA (by Wiley).
