The 40-date jaunt is put on hold

The Van Halen reunion tour has been postponed.

It was reported that the band would reunite with original frontman David Lee Roth for the first time in 20 years for a 40-date US tour tour.

The band was reported to feature guitarist Eddie Van Halen’s song Wolfgang on bass, replacing original bassist Michael Anthony, plus drummer Alex Van Halen.

However, Pollstar is reporting that the tour - which was never officially announced - is now postponed indefinitely.

The band last toured in 2004 with Sammy Hagar as frontman.
