Don Henley Denies Giving Away Hotel California Lyrics

Eagles co-founder Don Henley testified in court that he never gifted or gave away the handwritten lyrics to Hotel California and other classic songs, which are at the center of a trial involving three collectibles experts accused of trying to sell them. The defendants claim they rightfully owned and could sell the documents, acquired through a writer who worked on a never-published Eagles biography, while prosecutors argue they circulated bogus stories about the documents' ownership history. The trial also involves the fate of the biography manuscript and its interactions with Henley and the Eagles.
