Band illness?

unchainedheart: Have you watch the snippets in The Roth Show?If so,can you tell me what you think of it,because i’m french and sometimes i’m not really sure if Dave’s joking.Check out my previous post in this tread.Thanks Dave

Francois,

It doesn’t matter if you’re French, American, or anything else – no one can tell if Dave is joking, or what he is talking about! I do not listen to The Roth Show because I just cannot listen to him for too long just rambling on. On our podcast (Dave & Dave Unchained), Dave C. does listen to The Roth Show and does talk about it on our podcast.

ron: [Sammy Hagar was interviewed on a new edition of Lance Armstrong’s show, The Forward Podcast.]

Armstrong: I’ve looked up pictures of him [EVH] recently, yeah.

Hagar: Eddie doesn’t look the best that he’s ever looked but he doesn’t look like he’s [drinking]. You know, when Eddie’s got weight on him, that’s when he’s not drinking.

Armstrong: Yeah, because he’s got a little bit of a pooch, he posted a picture of him and his motorcycle from just a couple months ago.

Hagar: That’s much better. I love Eddie with a little belly on him because when he is skinny and crazy-looking, he is doing all the wrong stuff.

Everyone knows Ed has a little pooch. His name is Cody.

Think this is a new photo of Ed.
He’s looking ok..

DAVID LEE ROTH: ‘VAN HALEN Is Finished’
September 30, 2019

David Lee Roth says that VAN HALEN is “finished.”

The singer made the comment while speaking to Meltdown of the Detroit radio station WRIF about his upcoming Las Vegas residency, which is due to kick off in January.

Asked if he was “bummed out” that he couldn’t tour with VAN HALEN this past summer, as had been rumored several months ago, Roth responded: “That’s been canceled a number of times, and I think VAN HALEN’s finished and this is the next phase. I’ve inherited the band de facto — whatever that means. I think it means if you inherit it, carry this proudly. VAN HALEN isn’t gonna be coming back in the fashion that you know. And that being said, Eddie’s [Van Halen] got his own story to tell. [It's] not mine to tell it.”

Roth’s latest comments echo those he made earlier in the month when he told the Phoenix radio station KSLX that he was “the face of VAN HALEN from this point on, most likely. I’m not sure what’s happening with Ed, but he’s probably not gonna answer the bell this time,” he said. “And it’s not my place to guess.”

Asked if he was implying that Eddie Van Halen had been dealing with some health issues as of late, Roth replied: “I hear all the same rumors that you do and it’s not my place to guess.”

Earlier this year, rumors were rampant that the classic-era lineup of VAN HALEN would reunite for the first time since 1984. It’s unclear why the tour didn’t happen, though there has been online chatter that a health setback involving Eddie Van Halen might have been responsible.

The guitarist was treated for tongue cancer in 2000, resulting in surgery which removed a third of his tongue. He was declared cancer-free in 2002.

In a 2015 interview with Billboard, Van Halen revealed that he had given up smoking cigarettes but blamed guitar picks for his cancer diagnosis.

“I used metal picks — they’re brass and copper — which I always held in my mouth, in the exact place where I got the tongue cancer,” Van Halen said. “Plus, I basically live in a recording studio that’s filled with electromagnetic energy. So that’s one theory. I mean, I was smoking and doing a lot of drugs and a lot of everything. But at the same time, my lungs are totally clear. This is just my own theory, but the doctors say it’s possible.”

In 2012, Eddie Van Halen underwent emergency surgery, having been suffering from a severe case of diverticulitis. The disease is a digestive disorder which involves an inflammation and infection of the colon.

Roth reunited with VAN HALEN in 2007 after 23 years apart and released a comeback album, “A Different Kind Of Truth”, in 2012.

VAN HALEN has been inactive since it completed its U.S. tour in October 2015 in Los Angeles, California.

The trek was VAN HALEN’s first since an aborted North American run three years earlier in support of “A Different Kind Of Truth”.
