As previously reported, VAN HALEN's bassist Wolfgang Van Halen (son of Eddie Van Halen) has joined TREMONTI, the solo band of guitarist Mark Tremonti (ALTER BRIDGE/CREED), during the bands current tour (details below). TREMONTI is currently touring in support of his solo debut album 'All I Was'.
“I am excited to be joining the band and playing this incredible music with some of my best friends in the business," said Wolfgang in an official press statement.
It is reported that Tremonti initially wanted Van Halen to play bass on his NEW album, but the bassist's commitments to his other band kept it from happening.
Wolfgang was scheduled to be on the road with Van Halen for much of late 2012, but his father, guitarist Eddie Van Halen, recently had emergency surgery following a severe bout of diverticulitis. He is expected to make a full recovery, with the band returning to the road in 2013.
