Exclusive Van Halen News: The Reunion Is Official
We just received an exclusive press release from the Van Halen camp with the headline VAN HALEN IS BACK. We take this as official confirmation of what we already suspected, that the classic Eddie/Alex/Roth lineup is indeed back and ready to play. According to the press release (the full text of which appears after the jump) this summer the band will play forty shows with David Lee Roth on vocals alongside Eddie and Alex Van Halen and new bassist Wolfgang Van Halen.
“I am having a blast playing songs we wrote with Dave and I can’t wait to get on stage and get it on with and for the fans!” Eddie enthused when asked about his feelings on the reunion tour.
Rock. On.
