David Lee Roth is retiring from music.

 
I’m throwing in the shoes,” Van Halen’s frontman announced to the Las Vegas Review-Journal in a new interview to promote his forthcoming residency in the city. “I’m retiring.
 
This is the first, and only, official announcement,” Roth added. “You’ve got the news. Share it with the world.”
 
One of rock music’s greatest showmen, ‘Diamond’ Dave will bow out with five January shows at the House of Blues at the Mandalay Bay. Tickets for the shows go on-sale tomorrow (October 2).
 
I’m not going to explain the statement,” Roth declared. “The explanation is in a safe. These are my last five shows.”
 
Roth ended his ‘interview’ with Katsilometes without taking a single question from the Las Vegas Review-Journal writer.
 
I’ve given you all I’ve got to give,” he declared before exiting. “It’s been an amazing, great run, no regrets, nothing to say about anybody. I’ll miss you all. Stay frosty.”
