BW&BK; has received the following press release:

"Heard you missed us, we're back!"

The immortal line from 'Hot For Teacher' has never rung so true for VAN HALEN. The band saw its Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction earlier this year, and its landmark tour with original lead vocalist David Lee Roth is currently in full swing leaving trails of awestruck, sold-out crowds in its wake. Chalk up a recent People's Choice Awards nomination, and '07 has certainly been the year of Van Halen.

For the 34th Annual People's Choice Awards, Van Halen has been grouped alongside THE POLICE and GENESIS in the Best Reunion Tour category. The public can log on to the People's Choice Awards Website (www.pcavote.com) and cast their votes. Fans have until December 5 to vote for Van Halen and the critically acclaimed tour The Hollywood Reporter calls "nothing short of spectacular." In addition to Roth, the latest incarnation of the legendary rock quartet features guitarist Eddie Van Halen, drummer Alex Van Halen and Eddie's 16-year-old son Wolfgang Van Halen on bass.

The 34th Annual People's Choice Awards broadcasts at 9 p.m. EST January 8, 2008 on CBS. This year Van Halen helps make up a who's who list of nominees in music, television and film including Johnny Depp, Jessica Alba, Beyonce and Justin Timberlake. The winners will be announced during the program.

The notoriety Van Halen's tour continues to generate is tangible proof the band is more relevant than ever nearly 30 years after its debut album was released. And the band Rolling Stone magazine refers to as "rock gods" might just be delivering the goods with a People's Choice Award perched on an amplifier.
