There are tribute bands that come close to reproducing the voices of both Don and Joe. Clearly, there is scope to continue with replacements as an official, high quality, tribute band.

So true UTW and a good point. I have a friend who saw an Eagles Tribute Band here in NJ with her husband. She said they were great and the lead singers sounded almost exactly like Don and Glenn. We think Don's voice is unique but the truth is there are people all over the country who sing in bands and probably sound like Don and Glenn. We just haven't heard them. I know there a quite a few Eagles Tribute Bands who, based on reviews I have read, are quite good and sound pretty close to both of them.
I don't hear a Glennish tone in either Deacon or Vince. (Sure, none of them has a raspy voice, but it doesn't make them similar to me.) So I don't get why we should mention a possible replacement who would sound like Don.
I’m just stunned that people are so disillusioned by the replacement of Glenn that they would think they would go with Joe Tim Deacon Vince and a replacement for don. None of them are original eagles, 80% of the setlist would be from non eagles. It just wouldn’t happen. If Don had died instead of Glenn it would be conceivable the band would move just as easy as they did with Glenn. Though not necessarily true, public opinion has don as the Better singer. They are equal in my eyes but most believed don to be better including Geffen, Felder, Randy, geffen, rolling stone magazine
I highly doubt the band will still go on after Don passes too but it's because he's the leader now and I don't see Joe or Timothy in that position like Glenn used to be. In 20-30 years all 7 Eagles and Iriving will all have passed on and by that point a lot of the original fans will have too. The Millennials (my generation) and Generation Z only make up a small portion of Eagles fans, especially as the latter are still kids, so by that point in the future it won't be profitable as most of us will have moved on and who knows what music will be like by then or if it's even safe to go with how crazy this world is. So eventually they won't be touring anymore because they'll all be gone and times will have completely changed.
