Van Halen Reunion

PR-Inside.com has the scoop:

EDDIE VAN HALEN is revelling in his reunion with original VAN HALEN frontman DAVID LEE ROTH, describing their recent rehearsals as "pure magic".
Roth will take to the stage with founding band members Eddie and ALEX VAN HALEN, as well as Eddie's bassist son WOLFGANG, when the group hits the road later this year.
It will be the first time Roth has performed live with Van Halen since 1984 he quit the group in 1985 and was later replaced by SAMMY HAGAR.
But Eddie Van Halen is convinced time has healed old rifts, insisting no-one else can sing the group's classic tracks like original frontman Roth.
He tells MTV, "Playing these timeless hits only works with Dave. After one rehearsal, it was pure magic.
"I am very excited to get back to the core of what made Van Halen."
