Don Henley Files Lawsuit to Regain Ownership of ‘Hotel California’ Lyric Sheets


Eagles frontman Don Henley has filed a lawsuit to regain ownership over 'Hotel California' lyric sheets that were subject of previous litigation.

After a previous trial over stolen manuscripts came to an abrupt halt in March, Don Henley has filed a lawsuit to recover those personal Eagles sheets, which contain the lyrics to “Hotel California” and other hits. Those sheets were the subject of an indictment against three men in July 2022, with a trial that began in late February but ceased weeks later after prosecution dropped its case against the defendants upon discovering “damaging” fresh disclosures. Henley therefore seeks a declaration from this Court that he is the lawful owner of his seized lyric sheets to provide the ‘satisfactory proof of his title’ that will facilitate the District Attorney’s return of his property.”
