The Eagles are flying without touring guitarist Steuart Smith, who is stepping away from the rock band because of health issues.

“It is with profound regret that, due to performance issues associated with my recently diagnosed Parkinsonism, I find that I must bow out of my role with the Eagles while I can still do so gracefully,” the 72-year-old musician said Monday in a statement to USA Today. Representatives of Smith and the Eagles did not immediately respond to The Times’ request for comment.
