David Lee Roth (born October 10, 1954)[1] is an American rock singer. Known for his wild and energetic stage persona, he was the lead vocalist of the hard rock band Van Halen for three stints: from 1974 to 1985, during 1996, and from 2006 to when they disbanded in 2020. He has also had a successful solo career, releasing numerous RIAA-certified Gold and Platinum albums.[2] After more than two decades apart, Roth re-joined Van Halen in 2006 for a North American tour that became the highest-grossing in the band's history,[3] and one of the highest-grossing of that year.[4] In 2007, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Van Halen.
