Injured David Lee Roth Cancels Shows
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - Singer David Lee Roth has canceled the rest of his tour because of a martial arts accident during a recent performance.
"It was an incident onstage where he was doing a kung fu maneuver and he got hit with a staff that he uses," spokesman Todd Brodginski said. "He was doing a very fast, complicated 15th-century samurai move."
The former Van Halen frontman needed 21 stitches on his face because of the Sept. 17 accident in Philadelphia. He called off seven dates in the tour of clubs and theaters because of the injury. Two dates had been canceled because of Hurricane Isabel.
The 47-year-old singer said in a statement Monday that it was hard to sing and dance with the injury, but that the dates may be rescheduled next year.
"Thanks for a great tour," he said. "See ya down the road."
Brodginski said sales were strong on the tour before the injury.
