Van Halen 'Postpones' Fort Wayne Concert

If you had planned to take down Van Halen Day is celebrated on July 31 in Fort Wayne and jam in the rockers' Memorial Coliseum concert that night, it would be better when it crashes the party hat.

Van Halen has postponed all the sudden after the concert, June 26 performance in New Orleans, the Rolling Stone magazine reports on its website, www.rollingstone.com.

Memorial Coliseum officials received word Thursday afternoon, said Nathan Dennison, coordinator of the coliseum marketing and media services.
No reason was, but that concert has been "temporarily postponed," said Dennison. No information was provided about the band's concerts to reschedule.

People who have already bought tickets can receive a refund of their original point of purchase, Dennison said.

Rolling Stone and Music website Pollstar (www.pollstar.com) means the postponement of more than 30 concerts, including the dates in the larger cities such as Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Milwaukee.

Most of the tour, supported by Live Nation, whose representatives declined to comment, according to Rolling Stone.

The magazine quoted a source "familiar with the tour", saying that the members of Van Halen "hate each other," and "arguing like mad."

After more than a decade of touring as a singer Sammy Hagar, Van Halen singer David Lee Roth's original reconnected the 2007 tour, the Rolling Stone. Roth joined the band on the current tour, which began in February.

The concert tour promoting the band's latest album, "A Different Kind of Truth", published on February 7, which contains the first new music produced by Roth 28 years, Pollstar reports. This is also the first album, Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfgang, on bass.

Van Halen's decision to play in Fort Wayne heralded as some of the biggest concert in the local news years. Mayor Tom Henry announced plans to establish the date of the concert on July 31, Van Halen Day in Fort Wayne.
