The Eagles’ lead vocalist Don Henley has contracted an illness causing the band to reschedule three of their shows in their ongoing itinerary to give way for the singer’s recovery.  The shows that had to be moved were last night’s gig in Lubbock, TX (October 5), tomorrow’s show in Orlando, FL (October 7) and Friday’s Ft. Lauderdale performance (October 8).

The new itinerary will now have the Lubbock show as the band’s last stop for the tour, scheduled on October 29, while the Orlando show will be moved to the 26th and the Ft. Lauderdale show to the 27th.  Those who bought tickets for the original dates will still have their tickets honored for the new dates.

Following the rescheduled shows, the band’s next stop which shows no signs of being moved is in Austin, TX on October 10 for the Austin City Limits Festival in which the band is the featured act.  The band will also be flying down under in Australia for a series of multiple-nighters in Darling Harbour, Sydney, Boondall, Melbourne and Perth (one-night gig only) in December.
