Van Halen vs. Winehouse: The Race to Inevitable Doom

posted by on August 15 at 13:10 PM

Earlier this week Van Halen announced a reunion and national tour with original singer David Lee Roth. That same day it was announced that Amy Winehouse is, in fact, in rehab for alleged cocaine and heroin addiction.

Both artists are supposedly hitting the road (Halen has a December Seattle date, Winehouse a September one) and both artists are big balls of disaster. Winehouse is battling addiction and who knows if she’ll survive/get out of rehab in time/be healthy enough to tour come time to climb on the bus, and Van Halen, well, Van Halen and David Lee Roth have tried this before (a number of times) and it’s never actually happened.

The likelihood of either artist successfully playing even one tour date is slim, but I wonder, who do you think will pull the plug first?

the piles of money VH will make on their tour dwarf the piles of cocaine AW would need on her tour.

Amy Winehouse isn't 27 yet, she's not going to die until she's 27. That's the rule.

does Sammy Hagar taking over for DLR at any point in the tour count? Because that will affect my vote.

Eddie Van Halen is out of control. No way that tour happens.
