Tribute Band Offer To Fill In Dates For Van Halen

Tribute Band Offer To Fill In Dates For Van Halen

Van Halen Army, a popular Van Halen cover band have offered to step in and fill the tour dates voided when Eddie and company canceled their upcoming tour.

The rock legends broke the news of their canceled tour last week and the tribute act was quick to offer up their services via Facebook:

"Just heard the real Van Halen is a little tired and burnt out and are gonna postpone some shows. [We] would love to fill in any of their dates until the real guys are re-charged and ready to kick some a** like they do! Call us Eddie, we'd love to help."

The band's guitarist later told TMZ it would only be fair to give them a crack at filling the tour dates:

"They have an obligation to fulfill . . . somebody signs up to do the job they should complete it. Concerts these days cost a lot of money, they can't let the fans down . . . they need to fulfill their end of the deal. We could easily do it. Our singer sounds exactly like David Lee Roth!"
