Van Halen Putting Tour On Hold For A Month

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
After postponing a handful of dates last week in order for guitarist Eddie Van Halen to undergo tests for an unspecified medical condition, Van Halen is postponing all tour activity until April 19.

Seventeen shows are affected, beginning tomorrow night (March 11) in Charlottesville, Va., and running through April 15 in Baltimore.

According to organizers, Van Halen, who has battled cancer and substance abuse, "is currently under doctors' care" and will "continue medical tests to define a course of treatment." No further details were made available.

Fans are being asked to keep their tickets, which will be honored at makeup dates to be announced.

Van Halen returned to the road last fall with original lead singer David Lee Roth for the first time in 20-plus years. The tour, which features Eddie Van Halen's teenage son Wolfgang on bass, has routinely sold out North American arenas.

Unless Bruce Dickinson flies his band into the side of a building. LOL

Nah I hear ya, I was planning on seeing both shows also. Hopefully Eddie will be ok, his health should come first before anything.

Even thought the KC show has gotten a bad rap I'm glad I went..St. Louis postponed for the second time.

Maybe they will use some of this time off to change up the set list and show a bit. Guess I should just hope they actually start back up.
