Valerie Bertinelli at Van Halen Reunion

On Monday, Van Halen had a press conference and announced to hit the road with Wolfgang Van Halen, the newest member of the band who’s just 16 years old.

The 16-year-old is dearly called “Wolfie” by his number 1 fan and mother, Valerie Bertinelli. Taking photos of his son standing next to his daddy Eddie Van Halen at a stage in the Four Season Hotel in LA, Bertinelli says, “That’s my job now to be the proud momma and I am.”

Wolfie is to replace Michael Anthony as the bassist. Consequently, Bertinelli isn’t concerned at all if his son will build up rock star habits. She says, “His father will be with him the entire time. I’ll be out there a lot. Ed is the best father Wolfie could have. It’s all going to be just fine.”

Joining the Van Halens in the conference were Alex Van Halen, drummer and David Lee Roth who came back as the famous group’s lead singer.

The fall tour of Van Halen is set to start on the 27^th of September in Charlotte, N.C. This is Roth’s first time to tour with the band after 22 long years.
