Don Henley Sued for Malicious Prosecution by Rare-Books Dealer in Stolen Lyrics Dispute
Glenn Horowitz sued Don Henley for malicious prosecution and more in a case stemming from a dispute over allegedly stolen handwritten Eagles lyrics.
When some of those pages were considered for auction during the 2010s, Henley claimed they were stolen, taking the case to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, which finally indicted Horowitz and the other two defendants in summer 2022. The saga of the handwritten Hotel California lyrics dates back to the late Seventies, when the Eagles contracted the writer Ed Sanders to write a biography about the band. At the same time, however, the lawsuit claims that Henley filed a report with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department “in which he falsely alleged” that the papers “constituted stolen property and [were] unlawfully in the possession of Ed Kosinski and Craig Inciardi.”
