David Lee Roth suffers near-fatal allergic reaction

David Lee Roth reportedly suffered a medical emergency recently while in the small town of Oakland, near Ontario, Canada. According to the Toronto Sun, he was pulled over for speeding and told the officers he was having a medical emergency because of an allergic reaction to nuts. The police quickly called the paramedics and stayed with Roth until they arrived. Office Chris Thompson said he didn't recognize the Van Halen frontman right away, saying, "At the time, I wasn't star struck. I was just trying to help him. The guy stuck out like a sore thumb. He was wearing a little silk scarf and flashy clothing -- it's not something you see in Oakland too often."

Van Halen wrapped up a reunion tour last month, which raked in more than $93 million.

Van Halen is in talks to star in a new Guitar Hero game.
