VAN HALEN To Make Announcement At Grammy Nominations?
November 4, 2011, 13 years ago
Hitfix.com is speculating that VAN HALEN will be the band rumored to make a “special live announcement” at the November 30th Grammy Nominations Concert in Los Angeles, CA.
From Hitfix.com: “So is it Van Halen? That’s our guess. A very cryptic message from The Recording Academy, the folks who bring you the Grammys, came out today, announcing more acts for the lineup for The Grammy Nominations Concert Live. The hour-long program airs November 30th, live from Los Angeles’ Nokia Theater, and, in addition to announcing nominations for the February 12th Grammy Awards, the special will feature appearances by a number of acts.
Toward the end of the announcement, the Recording Academy slipped in that the TV show will “feature a special live announcement from a truly iconic group regarding their historic band reunion set to take place” at the Grammys.
This was followed up by a tweet from the official Grammy’s Twitter account later that day: Who do u predict the reuniting band will be @ #GRAMMYnoms? Does this hint make u wanna 'Jump' & 'Dance the Night Away'?
Van Halen are currently mastering their as-yet-untitled new album. The band have been in the studio with Grammy Award winning producer John Shanks (BON JOVI, FLEETWOOD MAC, STEVIE NICKS) and producer/engineer Ross Hogarth (DIO, MÖTLEY CRÜE, RATT), recording their first album with David Lee Roth in more than 25 years, and their first new music as a band in seven years. The hard rock legends are rounded off by brothers Eddie and Alex Van Halen and Eddie's son Wolfgang.
Stay tuned for updates.
