Eagles singer Don Henley sues for return of handwritten ‘Hotel California’ lyrics, notes
Eagles singer Don Henley has filed a lawsuit seeking the return of his handwritten song notes and lyrics from the band’s hit “Hotel California” album
NEW YORK (AP) — Eagles singer Don Henley filed a lawsuit in New York on Friday seeking the return of his handwritten notes and song lyrics from the band’s hit “Hotel California” album.
The civil complaint filed in Manhattan federal court comes after prosecutors in March abruptly dropped criminal charges midway through a trial against three collectibles experts accused of scheming to sell the documents.
The Eagles co-founder has maintained the pages were stolen and had vowed to pursue a lawsuit when the criminal case was dropped against rare books dealer Glenn Horowitz, former Rock & Roll Hall of Fame curator Craig Inciardi and rock memorabilia seller Edward Kosinski.
“Hotel California,” released by the Eagles in 1977, is the third-biggest selling album of all time in the U.S.
