Van Halen has officially announced their 2007 North American tour. After a long standing rumor and partial confirmations from Van Halen camp, David Lee Roth rejoins the Van Halen brothers. Unfortunately, this is not the complete reunion of the original Van Halen since bassist Michael Anthony will not be joining the band. In lieu of Anthony, Eddie Van Halen’s son Wolfgang will be taking the bass duty. This should be billed as “Van Halen, Van Halen, roth, and Van Halen”.
