Runnin' with the Devil - The VH tour with Dave is ON!

Following up on the reported Van Halen reunion, MTV News today exclusively quotes Eddie Van Halen himself as saying, "Playing these timeless hits only works with Dave." Here's the latest:

Van Halen's long-rumored reunion tour with original singer David Lee Roth came one step closer as ink dried on the final contracts Friday (February 2). The tour will feature Roth alongside founding members Eddie and Alex Van Halen, with Eddie's son, Wolfgang Van Halen (who recently replaced Michael Anthony), on bass.

The long-awaited and much anticipated Diamond Dave-led VH will mark the first time the band has performed together since 1984 (both the year and the album). MTV notes that dates are still being worked out, but the tour is expected to hit 40 cities this summer. To acknowledge this rock n' roll event, Eddie said it best:

"I am very excited to get back to the core of what made Van Halen," Eddie added.
