The singer Don Henley knew was “the best” for the Eagles: “Several things prompted us to ask him”It takes a lot for anyone to fill the shoes of any member of the Eagles. So when asked about whether or not Gill would be a permanent member, Henley felt that there was no sense in them parting, saying, “Several things prompted us to ask him. “Secondly, we all had admired Vince’s music; he’s one of the best singers on the planet, one of the absolute best singers there is and one of the best guitarists as well. So we knew that he was one of the only guys who could have stepped into that position and done that.” That’s a high compliment coming from Henley, but that might actually be selling some of Gill’s talent short as well.
