Van Halen’s U.S. tour has been cancelled

It has been reported that Van Halen’s U.S. tour has been cancelled because Eddie Van Halen is battling issues.

The group cancelled two concerts in Virginia and Georgia late last month but rescheduled the dates for mid-March.

According to tmz, the cancellation is due to guitarist Van Halen’s poor performances, after he turned up for several gigs apparently intoxicated.

It’s said that the band reunited with original singer David Lee Roth last year and are scheduled to play a series of gigs across America until 19 April, but it seems that this is not going to happen.

What do you make of this was you affected by this?
