The Untold Truth Of Glenn Frey's Son, Deacon

Deacon is the older of Glenn's two sons, and his second child — daughter Taylor came first — with his second wife, Cindy Millican. Don Henley, another Eagles founder, credits Deacon with being the reason why the band can continue to tour as the Eagles. "The only way it felt justified to me was to have family blood in the band. And I have to hand it to Deacon," Henley told Rolling Stone in 2017. "I'm the one who said 'Let's get Deacon into the band,'" he told USA Today earlier this year. "That was a surprise to everybody, including him, his mother and his family. But I knew he could do it." Apparently he's right. The National Review said Deacon's performance "sounded remarkably like his departed dad," both vocally and through his guitar work.

"Permanent" is a big word, and Deacon is still in his 20s. According to Ultimate Classic Rock, Henley sees Deacon's potential, both in and out of the Eagles. "I've told him that he doesn't need to feel obligated to do this indefinitely. ... If he wants to start his own band and write his own music, he should do that. He can do this as long as we all agree that we want to do it. He may want to carve out his own future, and that's just fine."
