After a 22-year absence, David Lee Roth has returned to Van Halen. But don't call it a reunion.
"This is not a reunion, this a new band," swooned "Diamond" David Lee Roth at a Beverly Hills press conference Monday afternoon. "Usually, when a band comes back like us, it is rockers with walkers. This is everything but."
While the announced Van Halen tour, which kicks off Sept. 27 in Charlotte, NC, does reunite Roth, 52, with namesake guitarist Eddie Van Halen, 52, and his brother Alex, 54, absent is original bassist Michael Anthony. Taking his place is Eddie Van Halen's 16-year-old son, Wolfgang Van Halen.
