He says he is retiring, he has 5 shows lined up in Vegas, one on New Year's Eve then another 4 in early January next year. He says he is calling it quits after that. I think he is sick and has been told he will die in the near future. I hate to say that, even though I have never seen him live with either Van Halen or the DLR Band what I have seen on You Tube is not that great. The first VH studio records sound great, just not the live "I forgot the ******* words" stuff. There are a very few early VH concerts on You Tube that do sound good, but that was when the band were all still very young.
This announcement/interview has some cryptic comments from DLR himself. I think it means he does not have long to live and he wants to play a few more shows before he dies. In 2019 Diamond Dave said in another interview "If you saw my X-rays, I'm 65 going on 80"....
I hate to say it and I hope I am wrong. Maybe his doctors just told him he is getting too old to be a rock star and to take it easy now. His comments about how short time is make me think different. From what he says in the interview it sounds to me like he may not be with us much longer.
