VAN HALEN – Original Lineup To Reunite In 2019!

UPDATE – 12/27/2018: Michael Anthony has confirmed this story is a HOAX.

“I have not spoken to any of the guys since 2004.”

Get ready to lose your shit! Eddie, Dave, Alex and Michael Anthony, yes, the one OG member who has not been allowed to jam in the band for years, are reportedly going to reunite together for a stadium tour next year. Eddie Trunk reports (transcribed by UG):

“I hesitate to even talk about this because every year there’s some rumor about Van Halen about to do something or announce something, and ultimately it just doesn’t happen.

“But, a little more so than normal as we close out 2018, I’m starting to hear some rumblings. I have sources and people I hear from and stuff that – as I was saying the other day, has to remain off the record.

“So I cannot cite my source, but I did hear from somebody who is in the music industry, who told me that he has spoken to some people and he’s hearing from some people that there indeed will be some Van Halen activity in 2019 in terms of live shows.

“And the rumors are – and it’s again, I stress rumors, rumors, rumors. Did you hear me say rumors?

“The rumors from reliable sources – but still rumors that are unconfirmed – is that the band will tour in 2019 with the original band, which would mean the return of Michael, and that there it’s gonna be some sort of stadium package

“So again I cannot stress enough that is not confirmed in any way shape or form but there are starting to be some real substantial rumors about that as we close out 2018.

“And somebody who will remain anonymous, who contacted me because he was listening to this show yesterday, said that he also has heard that – and he is actively in the industry.
