Van Halen Tour Is On Like Donkey Kong!

Van Halen's current tour, much like most of their members, has been brought back from the dead. Van Halen
As we first reported, the group canceled remaining tour dates and hotel reservations through April 19. Live Nation, the company behind the tour, says that Eddie Van Halen is undergoing a battery of comprehensive medical tests to determine a defined diagnosis and recommended medical procedures. They say these dates are rescheduled starting April 24.

Eddie checked into rehab last year for alcohol-related issues.

31. Everyone on here talking about how the members of Van Halen are so old and worn out need to get a life !!! These guys have been around for nearly 30 years, and their tours are still selling out. So what if they are all older now ?? That's what people do, they get older. That doesn't mean that they don't still rock. Van Halen is way better than the crappy, sound the same, so called rock bands that are coming out now, and they always will be. Let's see if any of the radio crap bands of today can sell out tours 30 years from now. I doubt it.

33.
Glad to see a few voices of reason posting here. TMZ should be ashamed of their erroneous reporting. All they do is just try to stir the pot. It's disgusting that they would imply things without any sort of confirmation.

36. Funny a local station reported that rumors on the net about this was untrue. It was going around that they had canceled tonights performance at the AA center. They say tonights show is going on as planned.

37. All these jackasses posting speculation that Ed is drinking or doing drugs again or that Dave pissed everyone off or that Val's book drove Ed to drink. Com'on TMZ give us a break! Ed has a medical issue and they are moving dates in order to accomodate him. Let's just hope that his cancer isn't making a second appearance :-(

Heal fast Eddie so we can see you in New England!

39. You people are so stupid mocking the person who said they are a friend of David. Someone gives a fair, decent report and you people do not believe them, It is not like he is some huge mega star now. DLR is a cool guy who I met backstage a few times and has a great bodyguard who is open to Dave's fans. I am sure what they said is true. if anyone ever read "Crazy From The Heat: Dave's book...Ed is a jerk. Just ask Sammy and that Gary guy. They would all agree.

40. Fair warning and all of you speculative bozos. I AM a tour promoter and we had the band a month ago right after holiday break. Just go to youtube and listen to Ed crashing, messing up and watch Dave struggle to play with a VERY drunken Ed Van Halen. His drug of choice...cheap wine that he had laying all over his dressing room. Sorry folks but cancer does not make you play like crap, being a boozer and an idiot does.

41. I have all of Van Halen's albums. And I will see Van Halen live-in-concert during their next upcoming U.S. tour. When Van Halen will be at Staples Center in L.A.

42. van halen rocks and they kick any 80's or 90's band's ass,and you know this man...

Posted at 8:04AM on Mar 4th 2008 by VAN HALEN ROCKS

43. I saw them in Charlotte their 1st concert. Dave sure did not do any jumping. Eddie did a lot of jumping around. It was OK. Of course they have gotten older, but Jon Bon Jovi has too and he is wide open during his concerts. He really puts on a show for the crowd. But all in all VH best music was with Dave and it will out last a lot of this music of today. Eddie could be having another bought with cancer too.

44. I hope Eddie's cancer has not returned. My prayers go out to him thst he'll be allright no matter what the problem is.

45. What is it with you people blaming Van Halen's problems on a book written by ex wife Bertinelli? Jeez, she stayed married to the jerk for over 20 years. She put up with all the alcohol, drugs and other women. She finally had the brains to get out of a horrible marriage. She sure as hell didn't throw Eddie under a bus...he chose to do it to himself years ago and apparently still does. Van Halen put out a few good records in their day. I can't lie and say I am a fan, I am not. Yeah they are aging rockers...duh, that's what life is about, getting older. But quit blaming Ed Van Halen's major drug and alcohol addictions on Bertinelli or her book. He looks like crap...and please don't blame it on his cancer treatment or whatever. He is an alcoholic and a drug user, plain and simple. And a jerk who thinks he is the diva of rock guitarists. Jerk!
