A reunion tour for the legendary rock band Van Halen was axed because the group's lead singer, David Lee Roth, refused to pay tribute to the late Eddie Van Halen, his brother Alex Van Halen revealed in a new interview with Rolling Stone. Alex Van Halen, who founded the band with his brother, opened up to the magazine for the first time since his brother's passing and shed light on infighting within the band that led to the latest planned tour's collapse.
” Alex Van Halen said he had several phone conversations with Queen’s Brian May about how the band performs while still honoring the group’s late singer, Freddie Mercury. But he said Roth allegedly simply refused to pay tribute to his brother. “It’s just, my God. It’s like I didn’t know him anymore. I have nothing but the utmost respect for his work ethic and all that. But, Dave, you gotta work as a community, motherf---er. It’s not you alone anymore,” Alex Van Halen said.
