Van Halen News: Planned Van Halen tour hits roadblock >> liveDaily: "Earlier this month, Van Halen issued a press release in which the group announced it was hitting the road with Roth in tow for the first time since the mid-'80s. The announcement promised 40 shows featuring Roth, group co-founders Eddie and Alex Van Halen, and new bassist Wolfgang Van Halen, Eddie's son, who was to take over on stage for fired original bassist Michael Anthony."


The train wreck never even left the station. Not that I'm surprised one bit.
