In what is no doubt one of the most anticipated moments in rock and roll, Van Halen officially announces their 2007 North American tour.
The tour will mark the first time since 1984 that original Van Halen front man David Lee Roth will perform with Eddie and Alex Van Halen along with new bassist Wolfgang Van Halen for 40 shows this summer.
Van Halen fans can look forward to legendary high intensity performances, featuring a set list of the most iconic hits ever produced by America's premiere rock band. Eddie Van Halen states, "I am very excited to get back to the core of what made Van Halen."

It`s a pity though that Eddie doesnt want to reform what the public really want to see namely the original band not him and his son.

Seeing that he`s got the original singer back it`s a shame that Michael Anthony has seemingly been treated so shabbly by the Van Halens in recent years having been the band`s bassist from 1974 until their last tour in 2004 but now replaced by Eddie Van Halen son...

Rumours that his wife is on backing vocals are so far unconfirmed.

It`s a difficult subject reforming old acts, whilst obviuouly never being as famous as the Halens myself, nowhere near, in fact by my own admission to save anyone else saying it, I was asked to reform with my most successful band only last week.
Absolutely no way would I do it.
I think it`s also wierd that David Lee Roth has agreed to do the reformation, he has been quite happy and stress-free in his career away from music for some time now.
Lets put it this way, going back to what you used to do is a very strange thing to do to me. That said, there is no way I would want to miss the Van Halen reformation, Eddie and David are the only front men that ever seriously were in competition with Brian May and the sadly missed Freddie.

It`s worth noting that when Page and Plant got back together, the bassist was left out as well.

His Eddies wife on tambourine??

I remember seeing Van Halen (with SH on voacls) back in 95 / 96? supporting Bon Jovi.
One of the best live acts I have ever seen!!
