Some pretty cryptic comments in here. It may tie in with Gene Simmons of KISS saying Dave won't be continuing to play their farewell tour, with no explanation. I read that Dave may have gotten some bad news during the lockdown, and he's hanging it up for the sake of his health.

"I am encouraged and compelled to really come to grips with how short time is, and my time is probably even shorter," he added.

Wow, I'd say he's telling us his reasons for retiring suddenly about as openly as he can without saying the specific illness.

Good riddance. Too pop-oriented for me. Hagar was the better singer.

The Mighty Van Halen - take a look at those earlier clips from 81-84. They were unstoppable and David Lee Roth the ultimate front man. Jumping off those drum risers and doing the splits and landing on the beat.... DLR - Diamond Dave has certainly entertained through the years. God bless him.

Probably the first of several last tours. Still he’s 65. Retirement age for most.

I’m not a bit surprised by this. David Lee Roth was just a gigolo, anyway.

Wonder whom he crossed or defied.

” The explanation is in a safe. “

Hmm.

I mean, the most obvious explanation is lung cancer, or similar smoking-related illness.
