I think its just because of all the crap that has gone down in the last 10-11 years.

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.

I know the official VH site has a reputation of being really slow but with everything going on don't you think they would have pulled down the press release and said the tour is off? Until the official site says it's not happening, I'm not going to think it's off.

Valid point.

Its one thing for the official site to have pictures and news that are a few years old but a whole nother thing to still have a press release up for a tour that's supposedly NOT going to happen.

NIce to see that they are talking about VAN HAlen and they are displaying only Dave's picture!!!

It will be with Michael Anthony on bass and Wolfgang will spell dad on guitar playing along side him most of the night, on a limited number of venues....

Look for things to develop around September-October...

You heard it here first.

Billboard is a industry paper but much like the usual DJ that claim knowledge they aren't on the inside to be privy of the info that happening.I just won't believe anything until it on AP wires or the Drudge Report he reported the story first before anyone else when this was a go originally.
