Van Halen
will play in concert at Madison Square Garden
in New York City, New York on Friday, May 23 at 8:00 pm. The band will then move on to perform at the Dunkin Donuts
Center in Providence, Rhode Island
on May 25.
A hard rock
band from Pasadena California, Van Halen was formed in 1972 and
released their self titled debut album in 1978. The band sold over 80 million
albums worldwide by the year 2007 and has had several number one hits on the
Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.
Although the Recording Industry Association of America reports that the band is
the 19th best selling band of all time, with salves of over 56 million albums
in the US,
Van Halen may be better known for the dramatic exits of its former band
members. Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth left the band several times and were
constantly surrounded by controversy and mass press coverage. Michael Anthony,
the founding bassist, was recent kicked off of the band for controversial
reasons. Yet despite the band’s inner turmoil, Van Halen was inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 12, 2007.
