Van Halen
auditioned singers after Hagar bolted and Roth imploded. They settled on
Extreme singer Gary Cherone.
Van Halen
III (1998)
Cherone
left in 1999 without incident and without completing the band's second album
with the singer. Fans did not accept Cherone or they were tired of the lead
singer carousel. Van Halen appeared dead.
Eddie had
hip surgery in the early 2000s and Van Halen was silent. They worked briefly
with Roth, but that fell through again. Hagar and Roth toured together in 2002,
which led to a feud between the two. Hagar rejoined the band in 2003.
The Best of
Both Worlds (2004)
The band
toured again, but tensions between Hagar and Van Halen resurfaced. Hagar left
the band again and Michael Anthony was replaced by Eddie's song Wolfgang. Roth
joined the band yet again for an album and tour.
A Different
Kind of Truth (2012)
As of
December 2013, the band is working on a new album. Hagar and Anthony work
together in the supergroup Chickenfoot and on other projects.
