πΌ 10 October 1954. Happy Birthday π₯³πΎ to Diamond Dave, born David Lee Roth in Bloomington, Indiana, USA. One the best showman in hard rock history, he recently announced his retirement!!!
He marked an era as #vocalist and performer in the 1970s/1980s, first as Van Halen frontman and later with his David Lee Roth Band. After those years I have to say... he didn't do much.
He was back with #VanHalen in 2012 for their last studio album A Different Kind of Truth and they were supposed to tour the world indefinitley but... #guitarist master #EddieVanHalen was already struggling and he lost his battle 1 year ago on 6 October 2020 π₯Ί
Van Halen are undoubtedly the rock band I most miss: I regret to have never seen them in concert π€·ββοΈπ
Here's #DavidLeeRoth (and Van Halen) at his bestπ
