Deacon Frey, son of the late Glenn Frey, is leaving his father’s band.

On Wednesday, the Eagles announced that the 28-year-old Frey was stepping away, after joining the band shortly after his father’s death in 2016.

In a statement, the band wrote: “Deacon Frey has devoted the past four and a half years to carrying on his father’s legacy and, after some weeks of reflection, he now feels that it is time for him to forge his own path”.

Frey did not join the Eagles on their current Hotel California tour when it re-launched in February.

Who are some other notable father-and-son combos in rock history?
