Don Henley praised Mick Jagger as an enduring inspiration, highlighting the Rolling Stones frontman’s longevity and continued energy as a performer. The comments underline Henley’s gratitude for the Eagles’ own sustained career and loyal audience as the band brought its final UK tour to a close.

Speaking before the Eagles’ last-ever UK concert, Henley noted that Jagger had continued performing far beyond the age at which he expected to stop, calling him an inspiration to fellow musicians. Henley also reflected on the Eagles’ long connection with Britain: the group recorded its first two albums in London and worked with producer Glyn Johns on part of its third.
