That’s what Irving told him, there was apparently an outburst about “Rhiannon” being played before they went on that was actually the last straw.

It’s something that in a different context would likely have been glossed over. But after a tenuous and still ongoing negotiation, especially after Lindsey burned his bridges with Irving, who’d just resurrected the Eagles with Vince Gill, and after the untimely death of Tom Petty/sudden availability of Mike Campbell, why bother? Especially when they wanted to play older songs with the pending release of the new career retrospective.

I guess the outburst about Rhiannon was what made Stevie say she was done with him. She said he was difficult at Musicares.
