David Lee Roth cancels tour. (Funny!)
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Singer David Lee Roth has cancelled 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 manoeuvre 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 theatres because of the injury. Two dates had been cancelled 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.
I wish I was there to see that. I keep on imagining that Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Robin Hood cartoon.
Dodge, spin..BAM! I wonder if he hit the floor.

From what I read is that he finished the show, blood and all, and then actually checked in for pneumonia too.

Hilarious. I know what he was doing too. He uses some sort of kendo stick to do those maneuevers. It's actually quite cool when he does it without hitting himself in the face.
