New Eagles film premieres in U.K. at Sundance London

The Eagles landed on the London red carpet for the British premiere of a new documentary about the rock band's early days.

"History of the Eagles Part One" made its U.K. debut at the O2 Arena on Thursday night, with members of the group in attendance. Don Henly, Joe Walsh, Randy Meisner and Timothy B. Schmit were on hand to discuss the film which captures their wild, drug-fueled heyday in the 1970s.

"We played hard certainly but we worked hard as well," drummer and lead singer Henly said at the premiere. "That's the way we got where we did. We all have a good work ethic. We come from blue collar working class families and we learned how to get the job done."

Watch video above to see Henley give some humorous advice to younger bands out there trying to make it big.

"History of the Eagles Part One" was screened as part of Sundance London, an overseas extension of Robert Redford's popular Utah film festival held each year in January.
