Rock News Story of The Year - #1 – VAN HALEN

Van Halen returned in 2012 with “A Different Kind Of Truth,” their first new album with original lead singer David Lee Roth since 1984.

Re-introducing themselves to the media with a rare, intimate club show at New York’s Café Wha? in early January, the Van Halen buzz was in overdrive as the group prepared to issue the first single from the project.

hennemusic helped preview “Tattoo” for music fans in advance of the single’s official release.
