www.guitarplayer.comI can share a quick update based on reliable recent reporting.
Core answer:
- Don Felder, the former Eagles guitarist, has had health-related news in early 2025 after a medical episode attributed to dehydration on a rock cruise. He subsequently stated he was back to 100% and ready to perform again. [sources: GB News report summarizing his dehydration incident and recovery; Hindustan Times coverage echoing dehydration cause and 24-hour quarantine on the cruise][1][2]
Context and detail:
- The February 2025 reports described Felder being assisted offstage during a Rock Legends Cruise performance due to dehydration, followed by a period of rest and hydration, with organizers adjusting the remaining schedule to accommodate his recovery. Felder later posted messages or videos indicating he had recovered and was ready to return to the stage.[2][1]
- Earlier career notes and later activity show Felder continuing to release solo material and collaborate with other artists, with ongoing interest from fans in his post-Eagles work. (For example, media coverage around 2012 highlighted his return with new solo material, and 2019–2020 pieces discuss collaborations; these provide context for his career trajectory beyond the 2025 health event.)[3][6][9]
