Court case over ownership of original copy of Don Henley’s lyrics for the epic Eagles song and album
Three men have been charged in the US for possessing notes worth over $1m (840,000) belonging to one of the Eagles founding members Don Henley, including the handwritten lyrics to the band’s best-known song, Hotel California.
Prosecutors said that Glenn Horowitz, 66, Craig Inciardi, 58, and Edward Kosinski, 59, knew that the documents – which included the lyrics for other songs from the band’s Hotel California album such as Life in the Fast Lane, and New Kid In Town – were stolen.
