His comments came after he addressed the reasons why he has decided to resume his solo career with the launch of a Las Vegas residency.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/a>, Roth said: “Ed’s [Van Halen] not doing well, and singing and dancing is a perishable skill. If you have the capacity, it’s something that has to be used routinely, if not for the thrill of it and the magic of creating with other incandescent spirits.”<\/p>\n

What he’s referring to isn’t exactly clear, but back in October it was reported that Eddie was undergoing surgery for throat cancer<\/a>. It came 20 years after the guitar icon had treatment for tongue cancer.<\/p>\n
