No more teasing. Never tease where Van Halen is concerned...I have
information from a highly placed source that Van Halen will likely tour in
2007 with David Lee Roth as frontman.
Negotiations are currently underway to re-unite Van Halen with their
original frontman for a tour in 2007 that will take in Amercia and possibly
other territories. While nothing in the world of Van Halen is set until the
band walk out on stage, I can confirm that negotiations between all parties
have been underway for some time, trying to put together a big 2007 re-union
tour.
One would presume the tour will feature classic VH era songs only. What I do
not yet know is whether this plan includes exiled bass player Michael
Anthony. Perhaps Wolfgang will play bass? I'm told these questions will be
answered shortly.
Van Halen last toured in 2004 with Sammy Hagar, but the tour ended on a sour
note and Hagar has not talked to Eddie Van Halen since.
What I also know is that there will be no new Van Halen release to go with
the tour, such as The Best Of Both World's in 2004. There is no plans for a
new compilation or a new studio album - just the tour.
More details when available.
