The iconic rock-and-country duo, known for hits like “All I Have to Do Is Dream” and “Bye Bye Love,” had planned to take a brief hiatus after decades of non-stop touring.
Their plan was to step away for two years, giving Don time to pursue a solo career and both brothers space to recover. However, what was intended as a temporary break turned into a decade-long split.
The first night went smoothly, but the second evening ended in a dramatic onstage breakup that marked a turning point for the band.
“I’d seen Don perform with the flu and a temperature of 103. I’d never heard him hit a sour note or be anything short of professional in front of an audience. But, this night, he walked onstage dead drunk. He was stumbling and off key and I remember Phil trying to restart songs several times. It was embarrassing.”
Don attempted to continue the show, but fans were stunned when he told the crowd, “The Everly Brothers died 10 years ago.”
Years later, Don reflected on that infamous concert in an interview with Rolling Stone, saying it was “one of the saddest days of my life.”
"People thought that night was just some brouhaha between Phil and me. They didn’t realize we had been working our buns off for years. We had never been anywhere without working; had never known any freedom. We were strapped together like a team of horses. It’s funny, the press hadn’t paid any attention to us in ten years, but they jumped on that."
