EXCLUSIVE Don Henley can be grilled about 16 year-old prostitute OD'ing at his LA home in 1980 by lawyers for men he claims stole lyrics from Eagles' Hotel California album
Daily Mail ^ | 2/16/24 | Kamal Sultan

A Manhattan judge has ruled that legendary Eagles singer Don Henley can be questioned over an incident in 1980 in which a 16-year-old prostitute suffered a drug overdose in his Los Angeles home.

The musician, 76, has accused memorabilia dealer Glenn Horowitz, Craig Inciardi and Edward Kosinski of stealing handwritten notes and lyrics for the Eagles' blockbuster 1976 album Hotel California.

All three have been accused of trying to sell the materials, worth more than $1million, and lying to auction houses, prospective buyers and cops about how they obtained them between March 2012 and December 2016.

Horowitz, 68, of Manhattan; Inciardi, 59 of Brooklyn, and Kosinski, 61, of Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, pleaded not guilty to conspiracy and criminal possession charges, and Horowitz to an extra charge of hindering prosecution.

Attorneys for Kosinski will introduce a statement from 1981, seen by DailyMail.com, written and signed by singer Henley in which he admits to trying to have sex with the underage girl and that he shared cocaine with her before she overdosed.

Henley was arrested on November 21, 1980 after an ambulance was called to his home when a 16-year-old sex worker overdosed at his Los Angeles property.

He told a Santa Monica probation officer he was depressed as he had separated from a long term girlfriend, was involved in a jet crash near Colorado and 'despondent about waking up every morning, not knowing if my group, the Eagles, had broken up or not'.

The rock star said he called up a 'Madam' who he claims appeared to be 19 or 20 years old and he shared some cocaine with her.

'She told me that she was only a temporary call-girl until she paid off a $2000 cocaine debt in San Diego,' Henley wrote in the statement.

What does an underaged hooker overdosing in 1980 have to do with Henley’s stolen personal papers?

If it’s a Manhattan judge, we know that the case is already rigged.

A subjective fondness does not equate to an objective rating.

How is the even relevant to the case at hand? It isn’t this is part of a deposition and they can ask any questions they want regardless of relevance.

I have to say, for most men, having a dead 16-year-old female of any description on your property would be a serious problem.

One would think so, right?!

You know what's worse? Is when butt-hurt people bring it up almost a half-century later.

There are a few bands that make me immediately change the station. The Eagles are at the top of that list.

Celine Dion tonight, right? ROFL

Is this related to New York state retroactively changing the statute of limitations on these crimes to get President Trump?

Don Henry was a wild dude. I’ve got a great true story. When I was in college I did a lot of drugs, I don’t deny it. That’s not me now. But I was an officer in the IUSA, the student group at Indiana University that booked the concerts for the campus. We usually held a party after the show that we invited the bands to. We booked the Eagles and Don and Gleen Frey showed up at the after concert party.

At the party I had a gram of coke and asked Don if he wanted to go to the bathroom with me and do a bump. We did, and I put the entire gram on the counter and we snorted it up. We talked for a while and I told him I was an amature poet. He asked me to recite some of my stuff as he thought I was full of shit. I gave him my best stuff and he really liked it. He then pulled out a bag that had at least an ounce of coke in it and said let’s write. He had a pen and a little spiral notebook which I assume he wrote his thoughts on. We spent the next 8 hours snorting coke and writing song lyrics. All in that tiny little bathroom. He sat on the toilet and I sat on the edge of the bathtub. I helped him refine one poem that ultimately became the song “Johnny can’t Read”. I wrote two lines that ultimately made their way into his song Lilah. Man those were really good times. Absolutely true story.

Say what you want. That stuff happened. And it was glorious. The 70’s were a really wild time. You had to be there.
