Eagles Soar in Australia (ninemsn)

Don Henley once famously said his band, The Eagles, would reform only when hell froze over.

But the four members of the 1970s super group seem very comfortable in each other's company - and equally at home performing in Australia.

The Eagles begin the Melbourne leg of their world tour on Sunday night, after playing earlier this week in Perth.

The band, with monster hits including Hotel California, Take It Easy and Desperado, will play five sold-out shows in Melbourne.

These concerts will be featured on a new DVD, Farewell I, with guitarist Glenn Frey saying that Melbourne was a favourite destination for the band.

"We blew out so many shows here we thought this would be a good place to film Farewell I ..." Frey told journalists.
