He said that ‘official announcement is coming very soon’. Here’s the statement: “Van Halen will be touring in 2019. As you know, I work at Warner, and we have, by being the label of many incredible artists, information from their management. An official announcement is coming VERY soon, but here’s what you need to know, to clarify the rumors of recent months, including this return more or less awkwardly announced by David Lee Roth. – This is not a tour itself, but 6 dates in American stadiums, during the summer to come. – The band will be going to Las Vegas for 5 additional dates, in December. – It’s not a farewell tour. – The line up is the same as the last years: Eddie, Alex, Wolfie, and David. However, to answer the rumors of reformation of the original line up, YES Michael Anthony will be of the part, but it will be only appearances with each concert, featuring, at a given moment of the concert … indeed, Mike will come on stage with his bass Jack Daniels and begin his famous bass solo, before playing “somebody get me a doctor”, which he will sing himself, as in 1998 and 2004. By cons I do not know if Wolfie will be on stage at that time …. Eddie Trunk said true. Mike too, since he is not allowed to talk about this project …. – No interview will be granted, no one wants to justify the war against anthony and hagar, and this unexpected return, it seems that this is a big financial and legal history: Last year, Van Halen wanted to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first album, turning and re-recording the first album, but with Wolfie on bass. Anthony opposed this. Not out of revenge for his ouster, but compared to the fans, which generated a legal and financial battle, which gave rise to this project: Van Halen featuring Michael Anthony, for dates in stadium, and vegas …. – No new album or compilation coming soon. – Sammy Hagar is not part of the project, this one refused, mike had the idea to include it but each of the two parts did not agree. – The visuals with the planes I shared last year were real, they were prototypes of posters for the abandoned 2018 tour. Funny that it went around the net! The official announcement arrives at the end of the month / beginning of March!” See the comment below. ronQuote |

Dave (2309) | I thought Interscope was a 1 album deal only when they released ADKOT. Wasn’t the Tokyo Dome live album on Warner Bros. or some other Warner Bros. company? If this is to be believed, they’ really only going to bring Mike out for one song? Stay Frosty DaveQuote |

He says HE works for Warner and that “by being the label of many incredible acts”, he has “information from their Management”. Doesn’t say anything about VH being with Warner. I’m sure artist’s management share info around with others in the industry. That being said, I think bringing Mike out for ONE SONG per night will blow up in their faces. I expect to hear a lot of boos once he leaves the stage. Those of us who have been waiting for a TRUE REUNION are being screwed by 1) having to pay a FORTUNE to see them in a STADIUM and 2) getting one song with the original line up. And if they REALLY wanted to “celebrate” the first album by rerecording it with Wolfie…I’m speechless. Does this mean they were going to redo the entire album with 2018 Dave and not the original 1978 Dave as well? Is Eddie drinking again? VOODOOQuote |

ron (11805) | 1:09pm EST: A representative from the legal team at Warner/Chappell has contacted MetalSucks regarding this article to inform us that an employee named Thomas Balmayer had his Facebook account hacked last year, and that the account has since been closed. Here is that an excerpt from that letter: “I am Carole GUERNALEC the legal director of Warner Chappell Music France. I work with Thomas BALMAYER. “Last year, his name and Facebook account have been hacked in order to send fake news. We obtained the closure of the Facebook account. “My colleague Thomas (as nobody from Warner Chappell Music France) never wrote any negative remarks about Van Halen.” ronQuote |

src (1646) | i can believe they are only going to do just stadiums,if i remember right that was one of the reasons ROTH wanted out because he wanted to play any and everywhere and they just wanted to do stadiums,there is no way in hell Mike would allow himself to be treated like that and the fans won’t stand for it either he has been a stand up guy with VH.JMO srcQuote |

ron (11805) | http://rocknrollexperience.com/news/846/18/Sammy-Hagar-confirms-Van-Halen-contacted-Anthony/ Feb 13, 2019 Eddie Trunk conducted a live on air interview with former Van Halen vocalist Sammy Hagar. Towards the end of the interview Trunk asked Hagar about the rumors of Michael Anthony returning to Van Halen and Sammy replied: “The main thing I want to say is that Michael Anthony is one of my dearest friends in the world, he’s my band mate, him and I are soul brothers. We are, talk about cut from the same mold, the whole high tide beach thing, that’s the way we live. We live the same lifestyle. I told Mike, and these are all just rumors, as usual, Mike’s hearing about it through the news just like the way he heard about when Wolfie replaced him and was like Oh, I guess I’m not in Van Halen anymore, he read about it instead of these knuckleheads giving him a call and being straight up front with him. Mikey’s still sitting in that same position again where all of these rumors are going around and I’m sure they are trying to put something together but how it’s going to materialize I wouldn’t have a clue, it’s nothing to do with me. I told Mike, if this happens you have my blessings, you go do this, you’re a founding member in that band and for the fans he needs to do it. He is the missing element right now.” “If you want my opinion, without Mike it doesn’t seem quite the same.” “He’s the flag barer, he walks out there with the flag, the VH flag, he holds it high like the guy in the calvary and he’s a special guy. He has my blessings and when they are done we will go back out if it happens.” “But the things I’ve been reading, it aint gonna happen. They think Mikey’s gonna come out and do his bass solo with the Jack Daniels bass and say goodbye and watch Wolfie play his songs all night, I mean, I don’t think the fans are going to go for that either. That would be real hard on little Wolf, he don’t deserve that. I don’t know what to think, maybe it’s just a rumor. Those guys don’t tell me nothing because I don’t want to know but you would at least think they would tell Mike.” (laughs) “I’m not trying to hide anything, it’s not like I know something. Mike and I have had the conversation, I’m telling you Mike don’t know shit. They are going to have to eventually give the guy a call. He (Mike) got a call 6 months ago from (Van Halen) management saying, “Are you interested?” and he said, yeah, but I’m doing a record right now with Sammy and we are booking shows so you’d have to work around it and they said, OK, we will get back to you and that was it.” Here the entire interview below ronQuote |

floydrose5150 (152) | I put zero stock in this and really wish these rumours and gossip would stop. I am just as hopeful as any of us here. But it’s not going to happen. floydrose5150Quote |

ron (11805) | SAMMY HAGAR Says ‘There Is No Confirmation’ Of VAN HALEN Reunion With MICHAEL ANTHONY Former VAN HALEN singer Sammy Hagar says that there has been “no confirmation” about Michael Anthony reuniting with the band for a tour. A recent rumor has suggested that the original VAN HALEN lineup — including Anthony, who has not played with the band since 2004 — will reunite in 2019 for a run of stadium shows. This would be the first time that the four founding members of the band, including singer David Lee Roth, guitarist Eddie Van Halen and drummer Alex Van Halen, perform together since 1984. Hagar, who plays with Anthony in both THE CIRCLE and CHICKENFOOT, was asked about the VAN HALEN reunion rumors during a recent interview with Meltdown of Detroit’s WRIF radio station. “There is no confirmation about a VH tour,” Hagar said (hear audio below). “I ain’t here to tell you ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ if it’s gonna happen or not gonna happen. But Mikey is my dearest friend in the world. He’s my favorite bass player and singer on the planet to be in a band with. And we will continue to be in a band our whole life. But if there was an opportunity for him to go play in VAN HALEN again, just to mend that up, just to keep that sour note from being in his head for the rest of his life, he has my blessings. I will take the time off while he goes and does it. We’ve already talked about it. But there is nothing confirmed. I can tell you straight-up right now — there has been nothing confirmed.” Sammy continued: “I ain’t gonna say it is or isn’t [gonna happen], because it’s not my place. Right now, we’re gonna go out and promote [THE CIRCLE album] that we made together, and we’re gonna do some shows. And then as soon as these shows are done and we figure [out] what we wanna do, we’ll go book some more and then keep doing it. ‘Cause Mikey is… He’s in THE CIRCLE. He’s my bass player. He’s my fellow singer. He’s my bandmate. He’s my dear friend. He’s my soul brother.” http://omny.fm/shows/talkin-rock-with-meltdown/talkin-rock-with-sammy-hagar/ Talkin’ Rock with Sammy Hagar Description With some interviews you get all your questions in. When talking with Sammy Hagar, you always have stuff left over. That’s be’s the kind of guy you could talk to for hours! Unfortunately, they only gave me a certain amount of time, and it’s never enough. That being said, we did talk about…… *The new album “Space Between” Music News with Al Beck covers the Korn/Alice In Chains tour, Queen and the Oscars, “The Dirt”, new music from The Offspring, Phil Anselmo news and more…..
