Launch Radio Networks has issued the following report from Bruce Simon:
VELVET REVOLVER has lined up two songs to perform for VAN HALEN at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony on Monday (March 12th). The band will honor both DAVID LEE ROTH and SAMMY HAGAR by playing a song from their respective eras - for Roth, Velvet Revolver will play 1978's 'Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love', and for Hagar they'll play 'Runaround' from 1991.
In addition to the performance at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland and lead guitarist Slash will induct Van Halen into the Rock Hall.
Hagar and original Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony will be at the ceremony, but it's unknown whether they will join Velvet Revolver on stage for the songs.
Roth says he backed out of the event after he was told he couldn't perform with Velvet Revolver. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen announced yesterday (Thursday, March 8th) that he's going into rehab, and drummer Alex Van Halen will stay close to home to offer his brother whatever help he can.
The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony, which will also feature R.E.M., PATTI SMITH, THE RONETTES, and GRANDMASTER FLASH & THE FURIOUS FIVE, will air live on VH1 Classic beginning at 8:30 PM (ET) on Monday.
