But tempers continued to flair and in 2001, after 27 contentious years as an Eagle, Felder was summarily fired by Frey and Henley. Lawsuits and counter-suits followed.In HEAVEN AND HELL, Felder takes us inside the pressurised recording studios, the trashed hotel rooms and the tension-filled courtrooms, where he, Frey and Henley had their ultimate confrontation.Critic Reviews
