You know, sometimes this internet thing can be a real pain in the ass. News, good and bad, can spread quickly via the world wide web. The internet is also the most efficient way for rumors to spread. If you were a visitor to this site back then you may remember the rumor that Van Halen would appear with David Lee Roth at the Grammy Awards. The only problem with this rumor is, like the many others that start on the internet, it wasn't true. There will always be rumors on the internet. Just remember, take each one with a grain of salt, and note the source.

David Lee Roth is to reunite with Van Halen under the moniker Van Halen with David Lee Roth but don't expect this to be permanent, this will be very much on a trial basis. The band is still looking for a permanent singer but has finally given in to label and fan pressure to reunite with their original lead singer. No contracts have been signed and no agreements reached but the following has happened. The band has been meeting with David Lee Roth and they have jammed together. They have also been working on song ideas. However, contrary to other reports nothing has been recorded yet. The title Van Halen with David Lee Roth is one the band is reluctant to adopt but feel it best fits the situation. They are not welcoming David Lee Roth back permanently but as a transitory member only.

Official confirmation and their first public appearance together are likely to be at the Grammy Awards.

It seems the idea of recording a full album of new material with David Lee Roth is not the band want to do. There is major pressure from the label for an album and tour with him. Current plans for Van Halen with David Lee Roth do not include a full new studio album. Instead what is being prepared for release is Greatest Hits Volume II which will once again include 2 newly recorded tracks with David Lee Roth.

The planned tour will be to support Greatest Hits Volume II. The tour will go under the before mentioned name Van Halen with David Lee Roth.
