I have sources and people I hear from and stuff that \u2013 as I was saying the other day, has to remain off the record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">\u201cSo 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\u2019s hearing from some people that there indeed will be some Van Halen activity in 2019 in terms of live shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">\u201cAnd the rumors are \u2013 and it\u2019s again, I stress rumors, rumors, <em>rumors<\/em>. Did you hear me say rumors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">\u201cThe rumors from reliable sources \u2013 but still rumors that are unconfirmed \u2013 is that the band will tour in 2019 with the original band, which would mean the return of Michael, and that there it\u2019s gonna be some sort of stadium package<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">\u201cSo 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">\u201cAnd somebody who will remain anonymous, who contacted me because he was listening to this show yesterday, said that he also has heard that \u2013 and he is actively in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE &#8211; 12\/27\/2018: Michael Anthony has confirmed this story is a HOAX. &#8220;I have not&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=73312"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73312\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":73336,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73312\/revisions\/73336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=73312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
