Van Halen lead singer David Lee Roth says he is unsure if guitarist and co-founder Eddie Van Halen will tour again.
Speaking to the New York Times, Roth was asked if he thought Van Halen, who hasn’t performed live since 2015, would ever tour again.
In reply, Roth said, “I don’t know that Eddie Van Halen is ever really going to rally for the rigors of the road again. I don’t even want to say I’ve waited… I’ve supported for five years.”
“Because what I do is physical as well as musical and spiritual – you can’t take five years off from the ring,” he added. “But I did. And I do not regret a second of it.”
In January, Roth had reported that Van Halen was “not doing well”.
Roth now added, “He’s a band mate. We had a colleague down and he’s down now for enough time that I don’t know that he’s going to be coming back out on the road.”
