Stevie Wonder was at Glenn's memorial service.

That's right and he also was on Don's album and sang on Nobody Else In The World But You

Would love if Stevie was a part of it too. I could see Sting as well now with him writing his new song "50,000" for Glenn, David Bowie, Lemmy, and Prince.

Joe's comment about how he doesn't think the KCH will be able to top Aretha Franklin last year, made me think that we should be looking for bigger names. How about Stevie Wonder? Paul McCartney? Adele? Sting?

I just realised that only one of those is american. So who is the american equivalent?

I vaguely remember viewing a short video from Glenn, from his hospital bed, explaining why the Eagles had canceled some HFO gigs. The video started with Glenn finishing a telephone call from, according to Glenn, Mick Jagger.

Oh, that's right - Sting is friends with Don Henley. I think Billy Joel as well.

Sucks Don is being a twat about this. The other guys should be there

Yep. Don is good friends with Billy. I think Billy sang Take It Easy and Desperado in his shows. He even his version of The Boys Of Summer.

Really man? If you're looking to start some negativity here I suggest leaving.

I just had another thought about maybe Bruce Springsteen? He would be a huge star in the rock genre to get and he did sing "Take it Easy" in tribute to Glenn as well in concert.

There are so many artists who are friends with the Eagles, have been influenced by the Eagles, admire the Eagles... the possibilities on who will be here are endless.

I don't think the performers have to be Americans - just the recipients - so you have a world's worth of options!

The recipients don't have to be American, either - I believe Paul McCartney, Pete Townsend, Roger Daltry, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones are all still uk-based.

However, it makes sense to me that tributes to "An American Band" would mostly be american.
