They are taking flight one last time.

Famed rock ‘n’ roll band The Eagles announced Thursday that they plan on embarking on a final cross-country tour beginning in September through 2025.

“Our long-run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed,” the band said in an emotional statement. “But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle.”

 “The official farewell tour is currently in the planning stages,” continued the statement, which then goes on to give a bit of the band’s history.

“The Eagles have had a miraculous 52-year odyssey, performing for people all over the globe; keeping the music alive in the face of tragic losses, upheavals and setbacks of many kinds,” said the band, which formed in 1972.

The Post reached out to the group for comment.

“The Long Goodbye” tour is scheduled to begin on Sept. 7, 2023, at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, before heading to Boston, Denver, Atlanta and several other cities.
