Don Henley said the Eagles hired Vince Gill after Glenn Frey’s death because Gill “knows how to be in a band”, praising his willingness to work without demanding the spotlight. The comments highlight the importance of collaboration in a group whose line-up changed following Frey’s death.

Gill officially joined the Eagles in 2017, a year after Frey died, alongside Frey’s son Deacon. Henley described Gill as exceptionally versatile and easy to work with, saying it took both Gill and Deacon Frey to fill Glenn Frey’s role.
