Van Halen Reunion Tour With David Lee Roth Back On again!

Post by SHOCKLEY »

Van Halen, Roth to announce reunion tour
Original singer will join rock supergroup for 50 U.S. dates

NASHVILLE - Van Halen will announce a 50-date American reunion tour with original singer David Lee Roth during a news conference in Hollywood next week, sources said.

The arena trek will begin in early October.

Roth, who split from the rock group in the mid-1980s in hopes of solo stardom, will reunite with co-founders Eddie Van Halen on guitar and brother Alex Van Halen on drums. Eddie’s teenage son Wolfgang will sub for Michael Anthony on bass.

A proposed summer amphitheater tour by the group never got off the ground, with Eddie Van Halen entering a rehabilitation facility for undisclosed reasons in March.

In the months since, the guitarist has been seen publicly looking healthy and fit.

Van Halen last toured in 2004, with Roth’s replacement, vocalist Sammy Hagar, grossing nearly $40 million, according to Billboard Boxscore.

He logged on about a week after the change, and hasn't logged on since.

Turns out he was hosting a large number of videos of his Jedi gaming sessions on the server I was providing him. Once he noticed he couldn't upload anymore, he also noticed that the board was gone. Probably logged in once to see if he was still an admin, then disappeared.

Maybe he got tired of bitching about CC Huntington.
Aircheck? You'd make a great board op.

You gotta be kidding, right?

I mean, it's not like VH was real busy during that time.
