Van Halen Exclusive: Summer Tour A Go!
Posted by frankmeyer - Monday, November 06, 2006 4:46 PM
Last week, TheFeed ran a story about how Eddie Van Halen's spokesperson
Janie Liszewski told TMZ.com that his son Wolfgang was officially the new
bassist in Van Halen. Well, now TheFeed can confirm he's in the band via our
own correspondence with Liszewski, as well as the fact that there will be a
summer 2007 tour!
"Yes, I can confirm this story in the respect of Wolfgang being the new bass
player for the band and yes he has been in the studio with his dad and uncle
rehearsing and writing for an upcoming summer 2007 tour," Liszewski
exclusively told TheFeed. "Wolfgang most certainly has inherited the Van
Halen musical genius gene. At 15 years of age his knowledge, understanding,
skill, and command of multiple instruments is impressive."
When asked about the rumor that the Van Halen boys will enlist original VH
singer David Lee Roth for this tour, Liszewski said, "There has been no
confirmation that David Lee Roth will be touring this coming summer."
She also confirmed what Eddie announced on Howard Stern last month, that
Michael Anthony is definitely no longer in Van Halen.
So let's recap: We know that Eddie and brother Alex are rehearsing with
Wolfgang on bass. We know that there will be a tour this summer. We don't
know who will sing for the band yet, but we know Eddie is open to working
with Roth (he said so on Stern) and that no one is denying that Diamond Dave
could be the frontman. Hmmmm...interesting.
