Can’t say we didn’t see it coming. A press release from John Paul Jones Arena says that Van Halen, scheduled to play at the venue Tuesday, March 11, has once again pushed the date back "so that Eddie Van Halen, who is currently under doctors’ care, can continue medical tests to define a course of treatment. "
The band was originally slated to rock JPJ on February 22, but nixed the gig that morning and later promised to make it up on March 11. The Charlottesville show is the first of a slew of dates extending through April 15 that the band will reschedule, according the release. The tour will start back up again on April 19 (we’ll believe it when we see it), and new dates will be announced soon. Tickets will be honored for the new date. Fans who have given up hope can get refunds at the point of purchase.
 Are you ready to rock?! Well, you’ll have to wait…again. |
