A prospective Van Halen tour with original frontman David Lee Roth has
derailed. Sources tell Billboard.com the decision to postpone the outing
indefinitely was not due to any internal strife among band members. Insiders
close to the situation say a tour is still in the works and will happen,
though when is anybody's guess.
The tour, negotiations for which were first tipped here on Jan. 24, will
feature Roth, Eddie and Alex Van Halen, and Eddie Van Halen's teenage son
Wolfgang on bass. A spokesperson for the Van Halen brothers confirmed the
tour in a Feb. 3 press release.
Indeed, wheels were in motion for a 40-date, Live Nation-produced
amphitheatre tour to be announced Feb. 20, including venues and on-sale
dates.
The Van Halen camp has yet to make any official announcement about the
postponement or the reasons behind it.
