David Lee Roth

Drummer tried out for the singer's solo band in 1985.

There's no love lost between the Van Halen singers.

Singer suggests the trek would require additional musicians, and he's got some marquee names in mind.

"First, our favorite restaurant, the corner bookstore, now us. … What a long, great trip it’s been," singer posted on company's website.

King of Pop recruited guitarist for "Dirty Diana" song and video.

Singer makes his first statements since pulling the plug on his farewell performances.

Singer planned to deliver his final performances during a stint in Las Vegas.

He says the two "couldn't have a meaningful dialogue" because of Roth's drug use.

Singer said guitarist "developed an industry" with iconic design.

Singer may have, in fact, given fans plenty of notice.

“I’ve given you all I’ve got to give. It’s been an amazing, great run, no regrets, nothing to say about anybody.”

New book 'Van Halen: The Eruption and the Aftershock' digs into band's history.
