Roth Drops Lawsuit Against Van Halen
October 3, 2003 -
David Lee Roth has dropped his lawsuit against Van Halen!
This link
to the case summary at the Los Angeles Superior Court reveals that a request for the case to be dismissed was
filed by Roth's attorney on September 24, 2003.
Roth filed the lawsuit against his former bandmates on December 11, 2002 [VHND article].
He claimed that Eddie, Alex and Michael signed a new royalty deal with Warner Bros. in 1996 without his permission and
without telling him. He claimed to be out of pocket by $200,000 to the end of 2001.
At the time it was reported that Roth demanded a full audit of all royalties earned by Van Halen
since he left the band in 1985.
Roth recently cancelled the remaining dates of his current tour after a mishap on stage in Philadelphia
on September 17. According to reports, Diamond Dave was doing a kung fu manoever
during Jump when the bar he uses cut him just above his eye. The cut required 21 stiches.
