David Lee Roth cancelled the rest of his US Tour after injuring himself performing 'a very fast complicated 15th Century Samauri move' during a recent performace.
The former Van Halen frontman, who is known for his athleticism, was performing a gig in Philadelphia when he cracked his face with a long piece of wood.
'It was an incident on stage where he was doing a kung fu manouvre and he got hit with the staff that he uses,' Roth spokesman Todd Brodginski said.
The 47 year old singer needed 21 stitches on his face because of the accident in Philidelphia.
He has called off seven dates of the tour of clubs and theatres because of the injury. Two dates had been cancelled because of Hurrican Isabel.

is that pic for real? (2002)
To: Queen Jadis
Yea, that pic has been around before - but what really sucks is when he looks in the mirror he still sees the pic on the left... (a common affliction that affects us all).
To: rftc
Good Lord, man.
Retire, already.

I went to his show in Dallas 2 months ago, I saw the first VH tour 20 years ago. Gotta admit, it was awesome. The new guitar guy played Eddie perfect, they played only VH 1,2 4. Great fun. Everyone of my favorite songs. He was hysterical in his mid song and between song banter. Last time I saw him was 89 and it was awful. When he returns, I'd recommend it to anyone.
To: Rocko
Isn't Eddie fighting cancer right now? I saw a picture of him not long ago and he looked like death warmed over.

He can't think he is still attractive. He started hurting the eyes somewhere around 1985...

Van Halen (the original lineup) was one of my favorites growing up. It's kind of sad seeing him now. 47 trying to be 27.
C'mon Dave, give me a break.

Did he have a bout with cancer? I am not joking, just curious as to why and how he looks so bad. He used to be so good looking. Sigh.
To: Hillary's Lovely Legs
That's not right.
