- Don Henley wants his handwritten notes and song lyrics from the Hotel California album back
- There was a criminal case against experts accused of trying to sell the items, but it was dropped
- Henley claims the pages were stolen and is pursuing a civil remedy
So, get this – Don Henley, the dude from the Eagles, is out here suing for the return of his precious handwritten notes and song lyrics from the legendary ‘Hotel California’ album. He’s not messing around, filing a lawsuit in New York to get his stuff back.
This whole saga started when three sneaky collectibles experts tried to sell off Don’s precious pages. But wait, it gets juicier – charges were dropped in the middle of the trial! Don wasn’t having it, though. He’s coming back swinging with a civil case against these shady characters.
‘Hotel California’ ain’t just any album, folks. It’s a freakin’ rock masterpiece released by the Eagles back in 1977, and it’s one of the top-selling albums of all time in the good ol’ U.S. of A. Don Henley ain’t playing when it comes to his lyrical genius.
His lawyer, Daniel Petrocelli, ain’t mincing words either. He straight-up said, “These 100 pages of personal lyric sheets belong to Mr. Henley and his family, and he has never authorized anyone to peddle them for profit.” Boom. Mic drop.
On the other side, the defendants are like, “Nuh-uh, Don is just trying to rewrite history!” Lawyers for Edward Kosinski and Craig Inciardi are talking smack, saying Henley is full of lies and trying to misuse the justice system. Shots fired, y’all.
But hold up, Don’s lawyer ain’t having it either. They’re calling out these guys for trying to bully and spread false narratives. It’s a legal showdown of epic proportions, and ain’t nobody backing down.
And that’s the tea, folks. Don Henley ain’t playing games when it comes to his music. The drama continues, and we’re all sitting here waiting for the next episode of ‘Eagles vs. Collectibles Experts.’ Share this article with your crew and stay tuned for more updates on this wild ride.
