Classic rocker Don Henley has announced he will play a series of shows around New Zealand next March.
Henley, who co-founded 70s rock titans The Eagles, acted as the group's figurehead before embarking on a successful solo career in the 80s.
As well as setting the famed gentle Eagles groove
as the band's drummer, Henley also voiced many of their biggest hits, including Hotel California, Witchy Woman and Desperado. Their country-tinged rock proved incredibly popular, seeing them sell over 150 million albums and marking them as one of the biggest bands of all time.
After the Eagles disbanded in 1980 Henley enjoyed a successful solo career, winning a Grammy in 1990 for 'Best Male Rock Performance' for The End of Innocence. His other hit songs include Dirty Laundry, New York Minute, All She Wants to Do is Dance and Boys of Summer.
With The Eagles reforming in 1994, Henley began splitting his time between the band and his solo endeavours.
