Van Halen Tour Is On Like Donkey Kong!

Posted Mar 3rd 2008 5:42PM by TMZ Staff

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.

61. TO THE ONES WHO ARE NOT V.H. FANS.......YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITHIN THE BAND...YOU ALL ACT LIKE YOU ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO PLAY GREAT MUSIC AS THESE FINE MEN DO . YOU NON BELIVERS SHOULD GO AND PAY THE MONEY TO SEE ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS OF ALL TIME ( IF YOU GOT A JOB AND THE BALLS )THEN MAYBE YOU WOULD HAVE A RIGHT TO COMPLAIN .........

62. Wolfie seems like a very nice kid--as a 45 yo mom I am truly disgusted by the comments here about him...
Shame on anyone making fun of him. He is not fugly -- looks like Ed and especially Val in the face -- built differently. I think his face is adorable... He looks to be somewhat shy and reserved-- and he is still a CHILD chronologically...
Valerie definitely cares for her son and is making sure he is being taken care of-- and you can see he adores his mother...it is a unique situation among the 3 of them... it seems to be working for them.

63. I have tickets to the Atlanta show on the 19th of March. I hope that everything is ok with Eddie. I do not listen to gossip that may or may not be true. I took my two sons to the 2004 tour and am taking one of them to this show. Stop with all of the trash talk about things that you may or may not know to be true. Leave Wolfie alone. I sure as hell wish I had the chance to be his age and on tour with one of the greatest bands ever.
I like VH with DLR, Iike VH with Sammy, and I even liked VH with Gary. If you don't like it....don't pay the money to go to the show. I am sure there will be a Backstreet Boys concert coming to your town soon.
Eddie, I hope you are getting better, and I hope to see you guys on the 19th.
I am not a friend, but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night with a girl who wore a VH t-shirt.

65. Saw two shows on the tour - Chicago in October and the last Florida date (Feb. 20). He looked good, but something was wrong with his equipment during the Fla show. His guitar cord was stuck under a mic stand and you could see him getting P.O'd. He threw his guitar down during the "Jump" encore and then stomped offstage and pushed down a stack of amps. Something was up. They're in their 50's and doing 4 shows a week - that would be tough on a younger band! I think all of us who got to see them are lucky they stayed out for five months! Be Well, EVH - we love you!
