I'd tend to disagree with some of that.

Roth put a great deal of preparation into the rehearsals and run-up to the 2007-2008 tour. It was easily evident onstage, especially to those who had seen his solo shows in 2005 and 2006: Dave had upped his performance game, and in a big way (not just some minor tweaks).

Yeah exactly he did put in the hours for that first reunion tour for the first time in 20 years and it showed, he carried a band with a child bass player and drunk guitarist.

By the end of VH he had returned to type,

There is every chance that his plan would be to play these last shows without ever singing with the new band until he went on stage, the Roth of his autobiography on his hands and knees checking the stage may have existed at one point but not this century.

ALL of Dave's shows were just cancelled. UGH!

A coffee enema, a kale smoothy and a couple of blowjobs must have cured Dave of what was weighing him down.

"Hey, I'm gonna take 3 Viagra and in anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours I'm gonna try and fuck your girlfriend, pal!"

"I literally forgot the fucking words!"

Just saw in USA Today that the January 5th show will go on as planned (according to Dave’s spokesperson).

Dave is 67. Age is great for wine. Not so much for high energy rock stars.

What I learned in the last few years is what little effort Dave put into things over the years. I always thought he worked his ass off. Seems he is a much more brilliant artist than what I thought, With apparently very little effort, he has an amazing career.

Anyway, If he ever worked out before, it does not appear that he is currently working out.

Seems that he spends his days smoking "The shit that killed Elvis."

Some of what you said I would agree with. The Vegas shows in early 2020 and the KISS opening slot in early 2020 come to mind: the band were well-rehearsed, to be sure. Dave didn't seem particularly rehearsed...or enthused...sort of going through the motions.

The 2003 Diamond Dave cd - his last, full-length solo studio release - seemed like a slapdash effort.

With the upcoming Vegas shows, there seemed to be a long-enough string of them where - as of this moment, anyway - it seems likely some of the later scheduled dates will be fulfilled.

As to beyond, who knows? Roth looked pretty dreadful to me on that last appearance on Rogan's show this past June in terms of his general physical appearance. A few months after that, he announces his retirement, and it may or may not be telling that the last string of dates is a residency at a single venue and from what I can tell there are no meet-and-greets even with the deluxe ticket packages that run upward of $700 per ticket...although that could just be covid precautions.

He could well have just had a bunch of health issues that aren't necessarily terminal sort of catch up with him over the last couple years. I suppose he could be facing something far more serious medically. The net effect of whatever is ailing him is that he has determined his performing career is drawing to a close. Hopefully those who are seeing him in Vegas in the next 4 weeks will get as good a show as Roth is still capable of delivering at this point and have a good time.

Dave will never EVER perform live again.

I don’t even think he’s be alive by the end of next year.

Oh now, now WARF... don't come in here blowin sunshine up everyone's ass... LOL

My favorite song off ADKOT is That's the Trouble with Never... When you turn on your stereo, does it return the favor..?

[Nitro Express]

Me too am going to Wed show.

Dave and VH never cancelled shows unless there was no option. So I’m sure everything is being done to make it happen.

Who knows. I think Dave still smokes. That habit tends to rear it’s ugly head in your 60’s. I love cigars but gave them up a few years ago. That retirement announcement was a little weird but I know Dave has had several back surgeries. The doctors could be telling Dave to take it easy for those reasons. The young Diamond Dave was as high powered as you can get. You can’t do it to those extremes in your 60’s. That’s the reality. A more traditional musician like Paul McCartney can keep it going into the golden years but Van Halen wasn’t a stand at the microphone and sing type band; especially Dave’s end of it.
