They’re taking it to the limit and beyond! The Eagles are lending support to victims of the wildfires in California.
The iconic band has donated $2.5 million to FireAid, a benefit concert scheduled to take place at the 18,000-capacity Dome in Inglewood, California, on January 30.
The show, which is being organised by industry heavyweights Live Nation, AEG and Irving Azoff (Eagles’ longtime manager) will raise funds for those impacted by the wildfires still ravaging parts of Los Angeles. No acts have yet been announced for the show.
While Eagles are currently engaged in a long-running residency at Sphere in Las Vegas, they don’t have any shows booked between January 26 and February 13, and the scheduling may also take advantage of those attending the annual Grammy Awards Ceremony, which is slated for February 2.
The fires, which have been raging across Los Angeles since January 7, have already claimed 25 lives and led to the evacuation of more than 180,000 people. More than 12,000 structures have been destroyed, and the cost of damage is currently estimated at $250-275 billion.
