Launch Radio Networks has issued the following report from Bruce Simon:
Everyone was disappointed a few weeks ago when the VAN HALEN reunion tour with DAVID LEE ROTH was postponed. But one member of the band says that in the long run, it might turn out to be for the best.
Wolfgang Van Halen, the new bassist in Van Halen and the 16-year-old son of guitarist Eddie Van Halen, told People magazine, "My dad's taking care of himself," regarding Eddie checking himself into a rehab facility to deal with his alcoholism. Wolfgang then added, "I also think I'm too young for the experience, because I know there are a lot of bad things out there."
There's been no news regarding the tour since Eddie announced his decision to seek help. At last check, people close to the situation believed the group would eventually hit the road when the time was right.
