August 5, 2012, 12 years ago
VAN HALEN has pulled out of plans to tour Australia in summer, News Limited reports.
Promoter Patrick Prendergast, of When The Lion Roars, had pitched a tour in the first week of November. But he added: ''Van Halen have passed on playing in Australia this year - which is a shame.''
Prendergast had been in talks with the band since April and said a deal was ''very, very close".
It is the second time in 18 months Van Halen, reunited with frontman DAVID LEE ROTH, has pulled the pin on visiting Australia. They were confirmed to headline Soundwave Revolution last September, but cancelled, opting to finish an album.
