Legendary hard rock band Van Halen remains on hiatus despite strong rumors that they might reunite this summer. And if this isn’t bad enough, it seems like we might not see the band get together again anytime soon.
Van Halen’s vocalist David Lee Roth recently made an appearance on Talkin’ Rock with Meltdown where he dismissed the reunion talks and even said that the band is “finished.”
“It’s been canceled a number of times and I think Van Halen’s finished,” said Roth.
According to Roth, he is currently focused on his Las Vegas residency, where fans will have an opportunity to hear many of Van Halen classics. The residency will take place at House of Blues Las Vegas, with three shows planned for January and six more coming in March.
Although they never officially disbanded, Van Halen hasn’t played together since 2015. The original bassist, Michael Anthony, hinted in late 2018 that the reunion is on the cards, saying he was approached for a reunion.
This would be the first time since 1984 that the band would play in a lineup consisting of Eddie and Alex Van Halen, David Lee Roth, and Anthony. Still, the talks stalled and the planned reunion never took place.
