Van Halen is bound to announce a 50-date American reunion
tour with the band’s original singer, David Lee Roth. According to Billboard.com,
the good news will be released during a press conference in Los Angeles, the next Monday, August 13.
Van Halen and Roth’s replacement, Sammy Hagar, gained 40
milion dollars in the last 2004 tour, but the fans still missed the
eccentricity that Roth used to prove.
Roth left the band in April 1985, starting a solo career.
Though it seemed successful in the beginning, after several other tries like
being a radio shock jock talk show host, it proved that he couldn’t gain so
many fans as he would have wanted.
But after the Police’s reunion was a genuine demonstration
that it is possible, Van Halen decided the same. It may have been the probable
high box office success that might come, or any other reason, it is certain
though that the tour will start in October.
The founder of the band, Eddie Van Halen, had been scheduled
a huge summer tour, but his stay at a rehab in March cancelled it suddenly. The
motifs weren’t disclosed, but he was seen a few months after looking healthy
and fit.
The tour will give the fans Van Halen on guitar, his brother
Alex on drums and son Wolfgang on bass and, of course, Roth.
