A lawsuit over allegedly stolen Eagles lyrics was dropped because of newly available communications from Don Henley's lawyers
The case of the allegedly stolen lyrics to The Eagles’ “Hotel California,” which sparked when Don Henley discovered them up for auction in 2012, has come to an unceremonious end. According to CBS News, the case was dismissed on Wednesday after a cache of emails became available in the wake of Henley’s testimony. After taking the stand, Henley had waived attorney-client privilege, thereby releasing a trove of communications that the defense argued called the trial’s fairness into question.
He bought back some of the material himself, but also reported his property stolen. The new emails reportedly reveal that Henley’s lawyers initially wanted to categorize the situation a “burglary” to make their case stronger. However, the chain of possession actually started with Ed Sanders, a writer contracted to pen an Eagles biography back in 1979.
