Joe Walsh missed his first Eagles show in over 50 years on Saturday.

According to Rolling Stone, Walsh was forced to sit out of the band’s show at the Sphere in Las Vegas after coming down with the flu.

“We could either cancel the whole thing, or we could man up and do the show,” Don Henley told the crowd. “So we came down here this afternoon and had an emergency rehearsal for two hours. And fortunately, in this band, we have a deep bench.”

While Walsh did perform during the Eagles’ show Friday, Henley told the audience Walsh had been sick. “But he heroically made it through [the] last of the show,” Henley said. “Joe’s going to be okay. He just needs some time. Give him some love.”

According to Rolling Stone, the concert was the first Eagles show Walsh has missed since joining the band in 1975.

But just because he wasn’t there doesn’t mean Walsh’s songs were left out of the set list, although they did cut his James Gang tune “Funk #49.” Vince Gill, who joined the Eagles in 2017 following the death of Glenn Frey, sang lead on Walsh’s tunes “In the City,” “Life’s Been Good” and “Rocky Mountain Way.”

Eagles return to the Sphere on Saturday. They have shows booked through March 28. A complete list of dates can be found at eagles.com.

Lynyrd Skynyrd’s classic tune “Free Bird” is featured in Budweiser’s latest Super Bowl ad.

The company revealed the new ad, featuring a Clydesdale and a bald eagle, on Good Morning America on Monday.

The 60-second spot opens with a classic baby Clydesdale horse, which has been showcased in several Budweiser ads, running through an open farm before approaching a nest where a baby bird appears to have hatched recently.

As “Free Bird” plays in the background, the ad shows the horse and bird developing an endearing relationship as the horse protects the bird from rainfall, and the bird uses the horse’s back as a launching pad for a failed flight attempt.

As time passes, the horse grows in size as it hurdles through the air, and the bird is revealed to be a large, sprawling bald eagle with its wings spread open behind the horse as the bird takes flight.

“You crying?” asks a farmer watching the scene unfold to another farmer.

“Sun’s in my eyes,” he responds.

“As we celebrate Budweiser’s 150th anniversary and America’s 250th birthday, we knew we had to rise to the occasion in a way only Budweiser can. ‘American Icons’ brings our heritage to life through powerful storytelling with the Budweiser Clydesdales and an American Bald Eagle,” Todd Allen, the senior vice president of marketing for Budweiser at Anheuser-Busch, said in a statement included in a release.

“This year’s spot will leave fans awestruck and proud to enjoy a Budweiser as they celebrate our shared milestone moments,” the statement continued.

Super Bowl LX will kick off on Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

On This Day, Jan. 26, 2018…

Fleetwood Mac was honored as the Recording Academy’s MusiCares Person of the Year, becoming the first band to ever receive the honor.

The pre-Grammy event was held at Radio Music Hall in New York City and featured performances by Harry Styles, Lorde, Brandi Carlile, Haim, Miley Cyrus, Imagine Dragons and others.

Fleetwood Mac also performed at the gala, treating the audience to “The Chain” featuring Styles, “Little Lies,” “Tusk,” “Gold Dust Woman” and “Go Your Own Way.”

The band’s performance turned out to be Lindsey Buckingham’s last with the group. After a disagreement with Stevie Nicks at the event, she was fired from the band and replaced during their tour later that year by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell and Crowded House’s Neil Finn.

Kansas co-founder and drummer Phil Ehart is ready to tell his story. The rocker is set to release the memoir, I Am Phil, in April.

“It’s the story of resilience, faith, and family,” the description continues. “It’s about the grit it takes to hold a band together for fifty years — and the grace it takes to hold yourself together when the spotlight fades and your world comes crashing in around you.”

The Beatles have lost one of their long-standing U.K chart records.

The legendary band’s record as the artist with the most U.K. #1 albums, has just been snatched by pop star Robbie Williams, whose recent album Britpop has topped the U.K. Official Chart this week, making it his 16th U.K. #1.

The two artists have been tied for the record since Williams’ Better Man soundtrack went to #1 last January.

According to Billboard, The Beatles had held the record for the most #1s since the 1967 release Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band topped the chart. At the time it was their eighth #1 album, which pushed them past Elvis Presley, the previous record holder.

Overall, The Beatles have had 15 #1s on the U.K. chart, their first being their 1963 debut Please Please Me and their last being the compilation album 1, which was released in 2000. In the U.S., The Beatles hold the record for the most #1 albums with 19.

But while they may have lost one U.K. record to Williams, they have far surpassed him when it comes to another U.K. chart record. They currently hold the record for the act with the most weeks at #1 on the U.K. chart, with 176. Williams has only spent a total of 38 weeks at the top.

Supertramp is celebrating their 50th anniversary by reissuing some of their classic albums.

Even in the Quietest Moments…, Supertramp’s fifth studio album, was a top-20 hit for the band and featured the Hot 100 hit “Give a Little Bit.” But it was Breakfast in America that was their breakout album, hitting #1 on the Billboard chart and selling over 22 million records worldwide, thanks to such hit songs as “The Logical Song,” “Goodbye Stranger” and “Take the Long Way Home.”

The new releases are the latest additions to Supertramp’s 50th anniversary reissue series, which launched in August with the announcement of half-speed remasters of 1974’s Crime of the Century and 1975’s Crisis? What Crisis?
