Van Halen Will Rock Joe Louis Arena!

Tickets On Sale This Saturday at 10 AM!

Legendary rock band Van Halen with special guest Ky-Mani Marley will perform at Detroit Rock City's very own Joe Louis Arena at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 20!

Beginning this September, in what promises to be the most exciting live tour this year, Van Halen will embark on a national concert tour throughout the U.S. and Canada with its original lead singer David Lee Roth for the first time in 22 years.

Considered by fans and media alike as one of the most highly anticipated tours in rock and roll history, Roth, guitarist Eddie Van Halen and drummer Alex Van Halen will perform with Eddie's son, Wolfgang who joins the line-up as the band's bass player. Van Halen and Roth have not performed or recorded together since 1984's classic multi-platinum album 1984 and subsequent tour, making this tour a truly historic event.

Tickets ($49.50 & $79.50) go on sale Saturday, Aug. 25 at 10 a.m. and may be purchased at OlympiaEntertainment.com, the Joe Louis Arena and Fox Theatre box offices, Hockeytown Authentics in Troy (without service charge) and at all Ticketmaster locations, including Macy's and Ticketmaster.com.

call (313) 471-6611. Special Superfan tickets are also available.

Guests are reminded to plan accordingly due to the construction on the Lodge. For more information, please visit OlympiaEntertainment.com.

I wonder why they are playing the Joe and not the Palace?

And having one of Bob Marley's sons (and not even the popular one, at that) is an odd choice too.

Some of these reunions work and others...

I'm thinking this one has a pretty good chance if Ed and Dave can get along.

Rumors are already flying that the tour is canceled. It will be interesting to see where this goes next.

This doesn't sound too good.

Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Valerie Bertinelli says Eddie Van Halen was in denial. According to the "One Day At A Time" actress, her rocker ex-husband refused to acknowledge that his smoking habit had been the cause of his mouth cancer.

In a new interview with Ladies Home Journal magazine, Bertinelli, 47, says that Van Halen blamed his guitar pick over his condition and rejected the fact that he was a smoker that was likely the cause.

She says, "The guys has mouth cancer, gets part of his tongue cut out, and he still insists cigarettes have nothing to do with it.

"You should have seen the guy (alternative medicine practitioner) he attributes his 'cure' to. They sat around drinking and smoking in our hotel room. But, well, cancer hasn't come back yet, so who am I to say. There was so much denial."

She adds: "He's got issues that he needs to deal with and I hope he will. No one else can bring him out of what he's in but himself."
