Van Halen "Postpones" Tour
Van Halen reportedly is postponing an entire run of North American summer concerts. All of the band's previously announced dates after its June 26 appearance in New Orleans have been removed from the tour section of the group's official website, and venues across the country are confirming the postponements.
Van Halen recently extended their trek through a September 25 stop in Milwaukee, but now, more than 30 concerts -- starting with a July 7 performance in Uncasville, Connecticut -- apparently will be either rescheduled or canceled.
When asked to confirm the postponements, a Van Halen rep told ABC News Radio that all of the band's summer dates currently appear on its website, which -- as previously mentioned -- end with the June 26 show.
A source at Uncasville's Mohegan Sun Arena commented to Rolling Stone that the July 7 gig was "selling pretty good -- I don't know why they would say it's being canceled." Meanwhile, a source close to the Van Halen tour tells the magazine that the group's members have been "arguing like mad."
Van Halen's tour in support of A Different Kind of Truth, the group's first studio effort featuring original frontman David Lee Roth since 1984, kicked off in February 18.
