VAN HALEN - VAN HALEN CANCEL REUNION TOUR?

VAN HALEN's U.S. tour has been cancelled because frontman EDDIE VAN HALEN is battling "issues", it has been claimed. The group cancelled two concerts in Virginia and Georgia late last month (Feb08) but rescheduled the dates for mid-March (08). No reason was given for the postponements. However, internet reports claim the remaining tour dates have now been pulled indefinitely. According to website TMZ.com, the cancellation has been blamed on guitarist Van Halen's poor performances, after he turned up for several gigs apparently intoxicated. The rockers - who reunited with original singer David Lee Roth last year (07) - are scheduled to play a series of gigs across America until 19 April (08), but sources claim all of the band's hotel reservations currently being cancelled. As WENN went to press, a representative for Van Halen was unavailable for comment.
