Don Henley Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Donald Hugh “Don” Henley (born July 22, 1947) is an American singer, songwriter, producer, and drummer, best known as a foundation member of the Eagles before starting a successful solo career. Henley was the drummer and co-lead vocalist for the Eagles from 1971–1980, when the group broke up, and from 1994–present, when they reunited. Following the Eagles broke up in 1980, Henley pursued a solo career and released his debut record “I Can Not Stand Still”, in 1982. He’s released four studio albums, two compilation albums, and one live DVD.
The Eagles have sold over 120 million records worldwide, won six Grammy Awards, had five #1 singles, 17 Top 40 singles, and six #1 records. They were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 and will be the largest selling American group ever. He’s also released seven studio albums with all the Eagles and four as a solo artist. In 2008, he was ranked as the 87th best vocalist ever from the “Rolling Stone” magazine.
Henley has also played a founding role in a number of environmental and political causes, most notably the Walden Woods Project. Since 1994, he’s broken up his musical tasks between the Eagles and his solo career.

| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | Sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge. |
| 2 | A man with a briefcase can steal millions more than any man with a gun. |
| 3 | I don't care what anybody says about Ringo. I cut my rock-n-roll teeth listening to him. |
| 4 | Lawsuits should not be used to destroy a viable and independent distribution system. The solution lies in the marketplace and not the courtroom. |
| 5 | Mick Jagger can't even make a successful solo album, and the Stones are the biggest rock group that ever was. |
| 6 | I'm always jotting things down on pieces of paper. I've got pieces of paper all over my house. |
| 7 | I'm certainly not thrilled with everything the Eagles did, but there are some things I'm quite proud of. |
| 8 | Let hope inspire you, but let not idealism blind you. Don't look back, you can never look back. |
| 9 | The Eagles ended on a rather abrupt note, although in retrospect I realize now that it had been ending for quite some time. |
| 10 | I could stand out front and sing Eagles songs that I sing in my set, but I think people enjoy watching me sing and play the drums. It seems to fascinate people. I don't know why. |
| 11 | Sometimes songwriters and singers forget that. They get a melody in their head and the notes will take precedence, so that they wind up forcing a word onto a melody. It doesn't ring true. |
| 12 | I could have played more complex stuff. I could have been a busier player. But that's not what I wanted to do. I played what I wanted to play. |
| 13 | I don't mind doing two or three Eagles songs and playing the drums. I'm not one of those artists who's going to sit here and deny the past. |
| 14 | I have a bad back partially from playing the drums and singing. I used to have to hold my body in such a position that my spine got out of alignment. |
| 15 | I played drums on Keith Carradine's first record. |
| 16 | I think my first instrument was a ukulele that they gave me. I used to know how to play that pretty well. |
| 17 | I try to write conversationally; I try to write like people speak and put the emphasis on the right syllable. |
| 18 | I'm blessed with a pretty good voice. So just sitting back there banging on the tubs wasn't enough. |
| 19 | I'm fortunate that I've been in this business long enough that I've earned the right to be left alone by my record company. |
| 20 | I'm not on any crusade. |
| 21 | It was pretty frightening because as we all know, when large, famous groups breakup, a lot of the members don't survive in solo careers. |
| 22 | Playing the drums hurts my back. |
| 23 | Selling eight million copies of your first album will mess you up. |
| 24 | Some records with drum machines on them sound phony and plastic. It all depends on how you use the tools. |
| 25 | The Eagles and the critics were not the best of friends. |
| 26 | Between each album I try to gain a new insight that I didn't have before and perhaps write a song about something that I've written about before, but from a fresh viewpoint. |
| 27 | I have a certain pool of subject matter that I like to write about, things that interest me: politics, religion, ecology, and relationships between men and women. And that's usually what I focus on. |
| 28 | My father was an avid gardener. On many a summer morning he rousted me out of bed well before sunup and handed me a hoe. We had more than an acre to tend, and the objective was to get as much as possible done before the sun got too high in the sky and the temperature rose above 100. The humidity in that region, while good for the skin and for growing vegetables, is oppressive, and heat exhaustion is always a possibility in summer. On several occasions my thoughts turned patricidal. But as the years have passed, I have grown to appreciate what my dad taught me, not only about growing things in the earth, but also about responsibility and the value of hard, physical work. I now derive physical and spiritual pleasure from gardening. All this galls me a little, because my dad always said it would turn out this way. |
