Van Halen: Postponed shows rescheduled

Van Halen has rescheduled the tour dates postponed due to guitarist Eddie Van Halen's unspecified medical condition, according to Pollstar.com. The band will warm up on April 19th with a performance at Tiger Woods' charity event, Tiger Jam XI, in Las Vegas. Then the quartet will head to Cincinnati to launch the tour on the 22nd, with shows running through June 2nd in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Tickets for all the original dates are good for the new shows, and refunds are also available at point of purchase.

The band's first tour in 22 years with David Lee Roth on the mic was put on hold earlier this month, with promoters stating that Eddie Van Halen was undergoing "medical tests to define a course of treatment." A recurrence of cancer or a fall off the wagon were both rumored as the cause of the guitarist's woes, with the National Enquirer even reporting that he checked into a Texas rehab clinic.

Eddie's ex-wife, actress Valerie Bertinelli, said in People magazine that the reports about him being in rehab were incorrect.
