He might just need to “Take It Easy” moving forward. During a recent performance on the Rock Legends Cruise, renowned musician Don Felder—formerly of the Eagles—was escorted off stage.
Felder had just introduced a song from the Eagles’ widely praised album Desperado when he suddenly appeared to lose his balance, prompting assistance from crew members to help him off the stage.
On Friday, the guitarist and his team took to Instagram to update fans on his condition, writing: “We appreciate everyone’s concern regarding Don Felder’s abrupt stop to his show last night on the Rock Legends Cruise.
Don FelderAfter receiving medical attention, he was determined to be suffering from dehydration. He was given fluids and is feeling much better.”
His team further announced that the remainder of Felder’s scheduled cruise performances would be postponed to ensure he had ample time for a full recovery, concluding their message with a reminder: “Thank you for your understanding and remember – drink your water!”
Felder joined the Eagles in 1974 and remained with the band through their lengthy hiatus and eventual reunion, until his departure in 2001. In 1998, Felder and the rest of the Eagles were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
