Got this from Melodicrock.com

VAN HALEN CANCEL POSTPONE USA DATES FROM JUNE 26:

Van Halen have postponed all tour dates after June 26 without warning and without explanation. This comes not long after adding 30 dates to their so far very successful USA tour. I'm afraid this is not much of a news update as no one knows just why and no official explanation has been forthcoming.
There was one statement attributed to a member of crew posted earlier online, but that was quickly determined to be an imposter and spokesperson for the band Janie Van Halen told me that no crew member ever speaks for the band and official statements will only ever come from her or the band's PR firm.
Rolling Stone online suggested a source names internal tensions were behind the decision, but that and all other speculation is yet to be confirmed. Stay tuned.

VH: "The schedule is being re-routed. Simple as that. Stay tuned for Janie's press release. Get ready Europe, Australia & Japan." Matt Bruck

Except I posted the actual article for those lazy feckers like me!
(and your link has nothing about rescheduling for Euro dates).

It's all good though...

[crad]

No Euro dates have/were mentioned ?
The ones they did mention were cancelled last oct !!!

Let's not argue though huh? All the relevant information has been conveyed one way or another...It's all good.

Maybe this is why they have postponed.

Van Halen Getting Along Fine, Taking a Break, And Planning to Extend Tour!

Just when we all were beginning to think we were going to get a killer Van Halen album and an entire tour without any drama whatsoever, look what happens!
Yesterday, Van Halen POSTPONED (not canceled!) most of their Summer tour dates with no reason given. Immediately, speculation ran wild. Fans wondered if there were health issues. Rolling Stone quotes a mysterious “source with knowledge of the tour” who supposedly said the band members “hate each other” and are “arguing like mad.”
The Van Halen News Desk now has some answers form our trusted and proven sources. Other than those Summer dates having to be moved, it’s actually good news.
First off, no one in the band is sick. No health problems.
Second, we knew right away that Rolling Stone’s “source” is completely wrong, and can not possibly be a person with actual inside knowledge of the tour, because all four band members have been getting along splendidly throughout the entire tour. Roth and the Van Halen’s talk every day, and they are all smiles on stage. Everyone who’s seen the tour or even youtube videos can confirm that.
In fact, the band is on such a high from playing together this year and they were really taken aback by the Rolling Stone quote. They’re older and wiser and haven’t had any issues with one another.
Why were these dates postponed? The band has been working tirelessly for the last 18 months – writing and recording “A Different Kind Of Truth”, filming the “Tattoo” video, rehearsing, putting together the show themselves (lighting, the videos, the stage, routing the tour, and lots of behind the scenes stuff that most people don’t even know about). The band wants the second leg to be as awesome as the first. And for that to happen they want to put more time into the planning of it. Not just continue on with the same show.
Van Halen is very enthusiastic about the rest of the tour and wants be on the road for a long time. Just how long remains to be seen, but we’ll say that the tour will probably continue into next year.*They are now considering touring Australia and Japan in the near future.
As it stands now, the 31 postponed US shows are due to be rescheduled. There should be some sort of official announcement forthcoming.
