David Lee Roth is marking the 40th anniversary of his debut album 'Eat 'Em and Smile' with renewed activity, including a planned reunion with Alex Van Halen at TEDxFargo and a performance of Van Halen classics during his 2026 tour. Despite canceling a recent tour, Roth has been linked to a Las Vegas residency invitation from Sammy Hagar, while new bassist Sean McNabb praises his leadership. Meanwhile, Joe Satriani has revealed he declined a potential Van Halen project with Roth in the past.
