Over the weekend, David Lee Roth alluded to coming out of “retirement” and plans to return to the stage with a “Van Halen” tribute band after performing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Roth was the original vocalist of the hard rock band, which formed in the early ‘70s with late guitarist Eddie Van Halen, drummer Alex Van Halen and bassist Mark Stone. Roth embarked on a solo career in 1985, and Sammy Hagar picked up on lead vocals.
The rockstar was spotted leaving LAX where he admitted he was “only in the middle of my first retirement” months after canceling a Las Vegas residency due to the coronavirus.
Roth was asked if he was going back on tour any time soon, he simply responded: “There’s always a tomorrow for a singer, not so much for a trombone player these days.” He added: “How many times did Rocky retire? Seven. I think No. 3 was my favorite? How many times did Rambo have to come out of retirement in order to make the sequel?”
Only time will tell if this rockstar is getting back in the game. But for now, the future looks heavy metal.
