Van Halen 2007–2008 North American Tour

A number of dates were postponed in early March, due to a reported illness Eddie Van Halen appeared to be suffering from.

This offended many fans because original bassist Michael Anthony was not asked to be a part of this reunion.

[4] R&B singer Ryan Shaw announced that, beginning on February 22, he would be the opening act for the remainder of the tour.

[5] Shaw began to tour with the band starting with the Las Vegas show on April 19.

A "Merry Christmas" message on the Van Halen website referred to the "2007 tour", with no new title given for the 2008 leg.

The website merely stated, "As Van Halen readies for a much needed holiday break, it's back on the road in 2008 to continue the tour."
