Personal
In 2000, Felder divorced his wife of 30 years, Susan Felder. The couple met when he was a struggling musician in Gainesville, Florida. They had four children together. He became engaged to real estate broker Kathrin Nicholson in 2007. He claims that Nicholson was the driving force in helping him get over his split from the Eagles and form a new band. Nicholson and Felder have a young son together.
Felder penned the tell-all book Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles (1974 - 2001) in 2006. Released in early 2008 and quickly becoming a New York Times bestseller, the book allowed Felder to tell his life story, describe his often tumultuous relationships with Glenn Frey and Don Henley, and relate his own version of his termination from the band in 2001.
