India, Feb. 28 -- American musician Don Henley on Monday said he never gave away handwritten pages of draft lyrics to "Hotel California" and other Eagles hits, calling them "very personal" in a testimony that also delved into an ugly but unrelated episode: his 1980 arrest. Henley, the Grammy-winning co-founder of one of the most successful bands in rock history, is prosecutors' star witness in an unusual criminal trial surrounding the lyrics sheets. Henley says they were stolen decades ago from his barn in Malibu, California. He testified that he was appalled when the material began turning up at auctions in 2012.P21
