DAVID LEE ROTH Issues Low-Key Statement On VAN HALEN Rock Hall Induction
January 10, 2007, 17 years ago
Launch Radio Networks has issued the following report from Bruce Simon:
The normally outrageous DAVID LEE ROTH is staying decidedly low-key regarding this week's announcement that VAN HALEN will be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
Instead of some classic "Diamond Dave" quotes, Roth has issued a very simple statement that reads, "It is an honor and a privilege to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame."
The singer did tell us a few years back that the band's musical legacy had earned them a spot in the Hall: "That music is a part of American culture, beyond just a stack of tunes. It represents a whole lot to a lot of people, and I'd be one of the very first to sign up (to appear at the band's Rock Hall induction)."
There have been a lot of rumors that Roth is back in Van Halen for a summer tour, though nothing's been confirmed yet.
Van Halen will be joined by R.E.M., PATTI SMITH, THE RONETTES, and GRANDMASTER FLASH & THE FURIOUS FIVE at the annual Rock Hall ceremony, which takes place March 12th at New York City's Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
