In Van Halen news just in. According to Triple M music reporter Nui Te Koha Van Halen are locking in dates for an Aussie tour to support a new album that should be out by August this year.
"Van Halen dates are getting locked in. They'll be here with [singer] David Lee Roth," he announced this morning on Triple M Melbourne's Hot Breakfast, "Van Halen representatives were here with the Eagles during the Eagles tour in December.
He added: "They're recording a new album at the moment. [Guitarist] Eddie Van Halen says he doesn't want to do any shows until there is new material. And that new material should be out by August."
You little ripper. Great to see Diamond David Lee Roth and the boys are back in the studio, but let's hope they play all those old classics as well, like stuff from the magnificent 1984 album!
