In 2007, the Eagles consisted of Frey, Henley, Walsh, and Schmit. On August 20, 2007, “How Long,” written by J.D. Souther – who had previously worked with the Eagles co-writing some of their biggest hits including “Best of My Love,” “Victim of Love,” “Heartache Tonight” and “New Kid in Town” – was released as a single to radio with an accompanying online video at Yahoo! Music and debuted on television on CMT during the Top 20 Countdown on August 23, 2007. The band performed the song as part of their live sets in the early to mid 1970s, but did not record it at the time due to J.D. Souther’s desire to use it on his first solo album.

On October 30, 2007, the Eagles released Long Road Out of Eden, their first album of new material since 1979. For the first year after the album’s initial release, it will be available in the United States exclusively via the band’s website, Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club stores, and commercially available through traditional retail outlets in other countries. The album debuted at No. 1 in the United States[13], the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands and Norway. It subsequently became their third studio album, seventh release overall, to be certified at least seven times platinum.

In an interview with CNN, Don Henley declared, “This is probably the last Eagles album that we’ll ever make.”[14]

The Eagles made their awards show debut on November 7, 2007, when they performed “How Long” live at the Country Music Association Awards.

The O2 Arena concerts will debut an all-new stage production and the band - Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit - will be performing current hits from Long Road Out of Eden including “How Long” and “Busy Being Fabulous” as well as classic songs such as “Hotel California,” “Desperado,” “Take It To The Limit,” “Life In The Fast Lane,” and “Take It Easy.”

Eagles last toured the UK in 2006 with their sold out “Farewell I” tour, including shows in Birmingham, Dublin, Glasgow, and highlighted with final performances at London’s Twickenham Stadium and Wembley Arena.
