Alex Van Halen Claims David Lee Roth Axed Reunion Tour Over Eddie Memorial: ‘Dave F—in’ Popped a Fuse’


Alex Van Halen claimed that David Lee Roth axed a Van Halen reunion tour over a memorial for his late brother Eddie.

But, according to an interview with Rolling Stone, Alex claims that it came crashing down after Roth refused to incorporate a tribute to Eddie in their set. As Alex recalls, he and Roth began rehearsals for a tour following Eddie’s death caused by complications relating to throat cancer in Oct. 2020. After he chatted a few times with Queen’s Brian May to learn how that band honored the legacy of Freddie Mercury in their live shows, Alex brought the idea of acknowledging Eddie during their own reunion performances.
