In 1976, the Eagles released their most successful and critically acclaimed album, Hotel California. The title track earned the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and became one of the most iconic songs in rock history. During this period, due to hectic touring schedules, the band released The Eagles: Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975), a compilation album that has sold over 38 million copies in the U.S., making it one of the best-selling albums of all time, surpassing even Michael Jackson’s Thriller at moments in certifications.
Despite their enormous success, internal conflicts led to the breakup of the Eagles in 1980. Each member, including Henley, pursued solo careers thereafter.
Henley launched his solo career with the 1982 album I Can't Stand Still. The record featured the hit single "Dirty Laundry," which became one of his most recognized solo songs. He continued to release successful solo work through the 1980s and 1990s, cementing his reputation as a talented singer-songwriter beyond his work with the Eagles.
Henley was in a relationship with actress Maren Jensen, and the couple married in 1980. However, the marriage ended in divorce in 1986. In 1995, he married Sharon Summerall, and together they have three children: one son and two daughters.
As of recent estimates, Don Henley’s net worth is approximately $200 million, making him one of the richest drummers in the world. His legacy, both as a founding member of the Eagles and as a solo artist, continues to influence generations of musicians. Detailed information about his life and career is available on platforms such as Wikipedia.
