David Lee Roth: Story is Just Plain Nuts

Posted Jul 10th 2008 6:57PM by TMZ Staff

David Lee Roth wants you to know he can eat as many nuts as he wants!

Diamond Dave tells TMZ: "I was in Canada only from July first through the fourth for a performance at the Quebec City Summer Festival. I had no encounters or incidents with the police. The only thing I'm allergic to is criticism. -- Love, Dave"

A story that circulated earlier this week -- fueled by actual interviews with two Canadian police officers -- claimed cops had to save Dave's life after he went into anaphylactic shock from eating nuts.

Dave's rep says he is not allergic to nuts. Good fashion sense? Well, that's another story.

9. Diamond Dave looks incredible.

I remember when he turned into a jackass in the mid 198-s and destroyed his career - becoming like a male Cyndi Lauper. It was so sad. And then there were those hairpieces, the bizarre stints on talk shows, and then his crappy boring talk show when he took over for Howard Stern.

But I saw him with the Van Halens last fall and he & the boys rocked the house. He is back to being the gorgeous, handsome stud with the ballsy attitude and the great voice.

Thanks for coming back to earth, Dave.

13. He actually looks damn good in that photo(aside from the big mouth)! And the jacket is hip...just not with that button-down shirt.

14. Wow if that's how David is looking these days good for him, the 40yr old long hair, I don't want to age thing was NOT working, this look is sharp and he looks 'good' not like he's trying to look 20.
