David Lee Roth recently spoke to Gary Graff of Billboard.com about the possibility of a reunion with his former VAN HALEN bandmates.

"I see it absolutely as an inevitability," said Roth, who was deposed by CBS Radio in late April as one of Howard Stern's replacements. "There's contact between the two camps, and they have legitimate management; Irv Azoff is part of their loop now.

"To me, it's not rocket surgery. It's very simple to put together. And as far as hurt feelings and water under the dam, like what's-her-name says to what's-her-name at the end of the movie 'Chicago' — 'So what? It's showbiz!' So I definitely see it happening."

Roth is also planning to tour later this summer to play VAN HALEN hits — "I'm so proud of that music," he says — favorites from his solo album and covers. He says he'll leave the banjos and fiddles at home, though.

"I like to bring out the brass section now and the keyboard players and the singers and so forth," Roth explained. "It's probably a little closer to THE ROLLING STONES' revue than to the early three-piece power trio. But the demand is amazing; I guess I'm lucky enough to be one of those guys now who can point at the map and say 'Let's go here' — or, rather, my favorite expression, which is 'Let's follow the sun.'"
