The Eagles are eyeing to have their Las Vegas residency at The Sphere after U2 wraps up theirs next month, but they are struggling to make it official.
According to TMZ, the "Hotel California" hitmakers hope to kick off their residency at the world-renowned venue around November, given the band's timeline with their ongoing farewell tour.
U2 has been hosting their residency at The Sphere since October last year, and it drew in a huge crowd, considering the venue's capacity, including several celebrities, like Harry Styles making an appearance.
Bono raked in over 400,000 tickets, which earned them about $159.8 million in gross ticket sales.
As of this writing, though, The Eagles and The Sphere are still negotiating, and nothing is set in stone.
The Eagles On Their Farewell Tour
According to the Daily Mail UK, the "New Kid In Town" band announced their farewell tour last year, after 52 years on the road.
"Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. 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," The Eagles' statement read.
"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."
The band embarked on their final tour dubbed "The Long Goodbye" tour with 13 tour dates.

The Eagles Retiring From Music?
The Eagles was formed in the 1970s, after starting out as the backing band for Linda Rondstadt; they eventually struck out on their own with the first four original members: Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Randy Meisner, and Bernie Leadon.
"Every band has a peak, and that was ours," Henley said about the band's success following the release of "Hotel California."
He also explained in his interview with Rolling Stone in 2016 the concept of The Eagles' music at the time: "loss of innocence, the cost of naiveté, the perils of fame, of excess; exploration of the dark underbelly of the American dream, idealism realized and idealism thwarted, illusion versus reality, the difficulties of balancing loving relationships and work."
The Eagles is one of the best-selling bands in the world; they are the recipient of six Grammy Awards and five American Music Awards.
