The Eagles + Keith Urban + Dixie Chicks

The Eagles kick off their Spring tour April 16, 17 and 20 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles (passes already gone, no pun intended).

In June, the veteran soft-rockers launch a mini-tour with the Dixie Chicks and--in most cities--Keith Urban.

The Eagles continue to support 2007's "Long Road Out of Eden," the band's first new studio album since 1979's "The Long Run." The set debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart after posting first-week sales of 711,000 copies, and went on to become 2007's top-selling album by a group, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

"Long Road Out of Eden" also earned the iconic rockers Grammy Awards for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for "How Long" in 2008, and Best Pop Instrumental Performance for "I Dreamed There Was No War" in 2009.

BPD asked the band's Timothy B. Schmit when fans might expect more new music from the Eagles. "There's a lot of elements to take into consideration. We're a complicated group of people--including myself. I think we'll just wait and see. My tendency is to say probably not. But I'm not so sure. I've learned to not make statements like that. So we'll have to wait and see."
