They Reunited Thanks To Travis Tritt
When the band broke up in 1980, each of the members went their separate ways as their relationships had fallen apart, with each of them swearing they would never get back together. It was so messy that Fey refused to speak to anyone and Don Henley stated that they would only reunite “when hell freezes over.”
However, in 1994, the group was invited by country singer Travis Tritt to be in the music video for his cover of the group’s “Take it easy,” which resulted in the band reuniting. The next album they released was titled “Hell Freezes Over.”
