Van Halen to Tour
August 17th, 2007 by Sam
On Monday came the big announcement that some rock n’ roll fans have been waiting two decades to hear. Classic rock band Van Halen will reunite with original lead singer David Lee Roth. It has been twenty years since the singer quit the band. Roth who is 52 years old now, spoke animatedly at the press event, promising that the North American tour consisting of twenty-five dates will just be the beginning to a new album and eventual world tour. Roth went on to add that this reunion will be nothing like that of The Police. Van Halen wants this to be an ongoing reunion, not a short term money making gig. Another difference with Van Halen is that bass player Michael Anthony has been replaced by Eddie Van Halen’s son, Wolfgang who is only 16 years old. The tour will begin in North Carolina in September and wrap in December in Calgary, Canada. It sounds like there may be a little something for everyone. Any kid with a rock star dream should go and check out Van Halen’s kid on bass. It sounds purely inspirational. Fans, new and old, with appreciate a new look at a classic band.
