Don Felder says he has been left "with a very heavy heart filled with sorrow" after the death of Glenn Frey, his bandmate in the Eagles from 1974–80 and again from 1994–2001.
It's one of the most popular and readily recognizable songs of the rock n roll era, but many fans have no idea who the man is behind that familiar 'Hotel California' sound.
A reworked version of 'Hotel California' finds co-writer Don Felder employing a flamenco style similar to the Eagles' 1990s-era live version of the track -- while appearing alongside tour mates from Styx and Foreigner.
Foreigner and Styx are hitting the road with Don Felder for the Soundtrack of Summer tour, scheduled to begin May 16 -- and they stopped by the Ultimate Classic Rock offices to talk about how it came together, what inspired their new re-recording of the Eagles classic 'Hotel California,' and what we can expect to see and hear during the tour.
