Hall & Oates’s Daryl Hall recently spoke with “Out Of The Box With Jonathan Clarke” where he confirmed he was asked to join Van Halen replacing singer David Lee Roth.
In the interview, Hall said:
[…] ”Actually, yes. I knew those guys [Van Halen] really well; we actually shared some people, crew and things like that. And Eddie came to a show with [his then-wife] Valerie [Bertinelli], this goes back, you know, and David had just left the band.”And Eddie said, ‘Do you wanna join Van Halen, man?’ He was half-joking, but I think he was serious, I really do believe he was serious. And I took it seriously. I went, ‘Meh, I think not. I think I’ve got my own s*it going on.'”
