    Maybe they were just added, but they were long-planned no doubt....nobody books shows of this size last minute. The dates have been on hold with the venue for months.

    I'm not saying the RS rumors are true, but they may have held off announcing later dates just for this reason....



    Like Sharkey said, let the speculation begin...

    Van Halen Postpone Summer Tour Dates
    All shows after June 26th pulled from band's website

    By STEVE KNOPPER
    May 17, 2012 4:45 PM ET

    Van Halen have abruptly postponed all tour dates after their June 26th show in New Orleans with no explanation.

    The band yanked more than 30 long-planned dates, including shows in Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland, Salt Lake City and El Paso. Local promoters United Concerts and AEG issued statements regarding some postponed shows to local media, including the Salt Lake Tribune and Las Cruces Sun-News, but no details have been offered yet about rescheduled dates or refunds.

    Most of the tour is promoted by Live Nation, whose reps wouldn't comment. A source with knowledge of the tour tells Rolling Stone that Van Halen's members "hate each other." Adds the source, "The band is arguing like mad. They are fighting."

    News of the postponed tour dates surprised several arena reps, who are featuring upcoming Van Halen shows prominently on their websites. "You want to know the absolute fuckin' truth? I have no fuckin' idea," a concert-business source with knowledge of the tour tells Rolling Stone.

    "It's selling pretty good – I don't know why they would say it's being canceled," says a source at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, where the band was supposed to perform on July 7th.

    Several of the non-canceled dates have nearly sold out, including this Saturday's show in Minneapolis and June 20th in Dallas. "We're selling really well," says Jack Larson, vice president and general manager of the Xcel Energy Center. "We're looking forward to it."

    After decades of touring with Sammy Hagar (and, for a brief period in the late 1990s, Gary Cherone), Van Halen reunited with David Lee Roth for a 2007 tour and hit the road again with him in February. The band released its first new album with Roth, "A Different Kind of Truth," earlier that month. It sold 187,000 copies in its debut week and hit Number Two.
    Who's their source? Andrew at melodiCrock?

    Yeah you're right, I didn't think about that.

    We'll find out 5/19..Dave will mention something during the show....the key word is postponed...not cancelled.

    Hey psycho, please get out of my Van Halen T-shirt before you jinx the band and they break up.

    it's because the chickenpoop-tour started and they draw all the people and the attention away from VH! Dave and the three twins are so afraid of the competition that they rather cancel the shows!

    That alone destroys any credibilty the article had, which considering it is Rolling Stone, is very little to begin with. Judging from the show I saw in Atlanta, there are no problems with Dave's back or voice, so strike that off the list. Judging from what I saw I would be surprised if it were because of any sort of fighting as well. I think we should just be patient, I got a feeling this will all work out. In the mean time DAMN I sure am looking forward to New Orleans!

    Fuck, somebody needs to replace that asshole in Enuff Z Nuff. About the only thing Vie could replace is the speedbump at the end of my street.

    Fuck that! If you wanna cancel something, cancel his ticket, but there are plenty of other fans who have been holding tickets since the day they went on sale besides him.

    It is not unusual in cancer treatment for them to wait some weeks before they do anything, depending on the cancer and what they find. I doubt seriously it is because the group hates each other or the tour would not be called 'postponed'. I doubt is has to do with Dave's voice or anything like that. It points to Eds re-occurring cancer. Alex, whose had neck problems or God forbid it is not Eddie, but there is something like a cancer issue with Dave or Alex. Remember, these guys are approaching 60.

    I'm sure it's because Angel and Momshell exposed Dave's big Parkinson's secret.

    They should have cancelled Von Halen's ticket when he bought Sammy Hagar's "over the top" soundtrack at the thrift store a few months ago...

    Yep...

    You'd think we'd be used to it by now, considering all the years we have been dealing with it.

    Oh well. They will either put it back together, or they won't. At least we got some good shows, and a killer album out of it.

    Now if they'd just release the old shows on DVD, my VH life would be complete.

    All of you are missing the obvious.

    The band doesn't like it when Van Halen fans are happy for more than 6 months at a time.
    I could play "Stairway To Heaven" when I was 12. Jimmy Page didn't actually write it until he was 22. I think that says quite a lot.

    i was halfway to Buffalo, when Von (who was ALSO halfway to Buffalo, except he was taking the scenic route through Canada) calls and says "show's cancelled..."

It points to Eds re-occurring cancer. Alex, whose had neck problems or God forbid it is not Eddie, but there is something like a cancer issue with Dave or Alex. Remember, these guys are approaching 60.
    Strike me down for saying this but I would rather these shows were POSTPONED due to inner conflict rather than it being "C" in any shape, way, or form.

    Inside sources at camp WARF have also confirmed that Wolfgang is 6 months pregnant and was spotted backstage with a pint of ben and jerry's "chunky monkey" and a jar of vlasic bread and butter pickles...

    Fuck me. Finally got the scratch to get front row in Cleveland. Let's hope they don't cancel any more, I'm heading out to LA for 6/9.

    I feel really bad for people who were more or less depending on the summer shows to get their VH fix. I do hope everyone here was able to see them at least once on this tour. If not make plans to fly into one of the remaining dates. I bet sales go up for those dates, more than what would have been sold otherwise.

    The only thing worse about this announcement is that BETTE is going to get his name back in the headlines to mouth off about the Bros. & Dave AND promoting his non-existent career.
