David Lee Roth Back As Van Halen Singer

The rumors were true. Van Halen will reunite with original singer David Lee Roth for a summer tour of North America.

"I am very excited to get back to the core of what made Van Halen," guitarist Eddie Van Halen said in a statement posted Friday on the band's Web site announcing a 40 city tour. No specific dates have been named.

It will be the first time that Roth performs live with the band since 1984, when he was replaced by Sammy Hagar. A brief reunion with Roth in 1996 resulted in two new songs but no tour.

Original bassist Michael Anthony will not be a part of the reunion. Late last year he was replaced by Eddie Van Halen's 15-year-old son Wolfgang.

On March 12 Van Halen will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at a ceremony in New York.


What are they going to call the tour? Rehabo-Wabo? Come see how much we suck when we're sober? Damn, We're Broke Again - Reunion Time!?

Just so long as he doesn't wear the old pants.
I was looking at a Zebra butt at the SF Zoo and Moose could not figure out why I was laughing so hard. :D
