Van Halen has unveiled a couple of domestic shows that will follow a mid-June trip to Japan, all in support of last year's release, "A Different Kind of Truth."
Borrowing a page from the late Michael Jackson's playbook, LL Cool J has tapped guitar legend Eddie Van Halen to collaborate on two cuts from the rapper's forthcoming album, "Authentic."
Following a summer of cancellations, Van Halen has closed the curtain on its 2012 world tour by canceling the final two Japanese shows originally slated for November due to health issues with Eddie Van Halen.
A little more than a month after postponing the remainder of their summer tour, Van Halen has officially canceled the trek, according to promoter Live Nation.
David Lee Roth released a two-minute video to fans, explaining that Van Halen will still take to the road this summer and have plans for a two-year trek when all is said and done.
Rock veterans Van Halen, who have been on the road without a hitch since mid-February, have suddenly and unexpectedly postponed their planned summer tour dates.
Nearly two months into their U.S. trek, Van Halen has tacked more than a dozen additional stateside stops onto their extensive run behind "A Different Kind of Truth."
Only a complete a fool would expect the 56-year-old version of Edward Van Halen to play with the same kind of turbo-charged fury and mind-blowing complexity that knocked the rock world on its collective ass more than three decades ago. And yet, that is exactly what the guitar legend did in Philadelphia Monday night (3/5).
