Van Halen postpones more shows

The medical tests continue on guitarist Eddie Van Halen, so his band has postponed another 17 shows on their reunion tour.

According to Pollstar.com, the cities affected are: Charlottesville, Va., East Rutherford, N.J., New York, N.Y., Duluth, Ga., Pittsburgh, Providence, R.I., Uncasville, Conn., Atlantic City, N.J., St. Louis, Columbus, Ohio, Rosemont, Ill., Grand Rapids, Mich., Milwaukee, Manchester, N.H., Hershey, Penn., Raleigh, N.C., and Baltimore.

Van Halen's official website has offered up no further clues on Eddie's condition, saying only that he is "under doctors' care" and will "continue medical tests to define a course of treatment. The tour will resume on April 19th."

So sick and tired of these losers. They have been playing these games for over 23 years. Don't buy tickets to see them.

Do buy tickets to see them. They kicked my butt last November in one of the best concerts I've ever seen.

Anybody that thinks edward is a loser knows absolutly nothing about music. When you can amaze people like les paul then something called a biff cant be trusted.

great guitarist, dumb band.

Small wangs, good music. Great drugs.

This concert was AWESOME - and they all looked like they had fun up there! Eddie can PLAY - saw them in Tampa

Eddie is a great guitarist no doubt but his demons once again ruin what could have been something great. Fughit about them. There's always Sammy Hagar! GO RED ROCKER!
