Watch: DAVID LEE ROTH And ALEX VAN HALEN Reunite At TEDxFargo Event
David Lee Roth and Alex Van Halen made their first public appearance together since Van Halen's final concert in 2015, reuniting for a TEDxFargo talk recorded on 30 July. The event marks a notable moment for fans, coming more than a decade after the band's last show and six years after the death of guitarist Eddie Van Halen, and offers a rare glimpse of the two surviving figures discussing the band's legacy together.
The 15-minute conversation, titled "Beyond Boundaries: How Human Experience Informs Art And Music", took place at Brewhalla in Fargo, North Dakota, and was moderated by Los Angeles artist Robert Vargas, who painted a mural of Eddie Van Halen in 2021. The full talk has since been uploaded to YouTube. The article also recaps both men's careers: Alex Van Halen co-founded the band in 1972 with his brother Eddie and published a memoir, "Brothers", in 2024, while Roth joined as frontman in 1974 and later fronted the band through its 1984-era peak and 2007 reunion tours.
