Balance Tour Home Video Delayed (again)
June 15, 1996 - The home video of the Van Halen show in Toronto was due to be released in April, but the date has now been pushed back to Fall 1996. The release will be a full-length concert video of the show that was screened as a pay-per-view special in the USA and Canada in 1995, but with extra songs and backstage footage. VHS and Laserdisc versions will be released.
Pigs Fly! June 26, 1996 - On this day it was announced that Van Halen were working with David Lee Roth after parting ways with Sammy Hagar. Unfortunately, at that time the VHND was still in its infancy and archives of all the articles weren't kept. I ran with the headline "Pigs Fly", because after the bitter Van Halen / David Lee Roth split in 1985, the chances of the two parties working together again was extremely remote. Below is a copy of the press statement released by SRO Management and printed here at 18:30 California time. SRO Management has announced that Van Halen is in the studio working with original lead singer David Lee Roth. Their collaboration will be included on the band's upcoming Warner Bros. Records Greatest Hits collection, scheduled for release this fall. It has also been announced that Sammy Hagar, Van Halen's vocalist since 1986, is no longer with the group. The band is currently considering a replacement.
Press Articles June 29, 1996 - When it was announced that Sammy Hagar was out and Van Halen were working with David Lee Roth again, it was the biggest news in music at the time. Below is a list of press articles from this period.
