New round of tour dates keeps The Eagles aloft

The Eagles , who last fall offered up a new best-of set, return to the road this spring for a new batch of U.S. concerts.

The classic rockers have lined up a stretch of shows that kicks off in mid-May. Dates so far focus on the Midwest and West.

Members of the group's official fan club will have access to a limited number of tickets offered via Internet pre-sales. Details are posted at the club's website.

Last October, The Eagles offered up a 33-track, two-disc set titled "Eagles -- The Very Best Of." The collection--which has already gone double-platinum--features hits such as "Hotel California," "The Best of My Love," "Heartache Tonight," and "Life in the Fast Lane." Also included is a new single titled "Hole in the World," as well as "Please Come Home for Christmas," which was previously available only as a commercial single.

No word on when an expected new studio album--the group's first since 1979's "The Long Run"--might surface.

The Eagles' facetiously named "Farewell I" tour kicked off last May. The group's lineup currently consists of Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit.

Backing the quartet on tour are drummer Scott Crago, saxophonist Christian Mostert, and keyboardists Will Hollis and Michael Thompson.

Over the course of their three-decade career, The Eagles have sold more than 120 million albums worldwide, and have garnered four No. 1 U.S. singles and four Grammy awards, according to the group's publicist. Their hits compilation, "Greatest Hits 1971-1975," which has sold over 27 million copies, is the top-selling album of all time in the U.S.

The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
