Overview
- Roth's official schedule, updated on July 23, removed several upcoming U.S. shows and left only an Aug. 7 appearance in Sturgis, South Dakota listed.
- No formal reason has been given for the pullback, and venue reports of empty seats have led industry observers to speculate that weak ticket sales may be a factor.
- Sammy Hagar posted a social-media video saying Michael Anthony called him about the cancellations, expressing concern for Roth's health and inviting Roth to guest at Hagar's September Las Vegas residency.
- Roth has not publicly answered Hagar or explained the date removals, and some outlets note conflicting ticket listings on Ticketmaster for certain August and September shows.
- Roth, 71, had returned from a 2021 retirement to tour under the 'Don't Love Me, Rent Me' banner and the episode has refocused attention on preserving Van Halen's live-music legacy and on whether more announcements will follow.
