It's OFFICIAL: VAN HALEN Reuniting With Roth For Tour
Sources tell Billboard.com a contract could be signed as soon as today for a 40-date amphitheatre tour by VAN HALEN this summer, with original frontman DAVID LEE ROTH back in the fold for the first time in more than 20 years.

Ignoring the need for a solid low end or quality background vocals, guitarist Eddie Van Halen's 15-year-old son Wolfgang has stepped in for original bassist Michael Anthony in the new incarnation of the group, which also features drummer Alex Van Halen.
"I see it absolutely as an inevitability," Roth told Billboard.com last May of a potential reunion with his ex-bandmates. "To me, it's not rocket surgery."

NEW YORK (AP) -- The Police will reunite at this year's Grammys ceremony, the Recording Academy announced Tuesday. The award-winning group will open the event on Feb. 11 (CBS), 23 years after breaking up amid internal conflict.
The band last performed together in 2003 when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Sting fanned speculation of a Police reunion and tour when he told the Television Critics Association earlier this month that he and his former bandmates were "talking about" doing something to commemorate their 30th anniversary.
