David Lee Roth: Van Halen-Ruhm to calm artist life!

The legendary singer David Lee Roth, known for his formative role in the rock band van Halen, is now celebrating his 70th birthday. With a career that shaped the musical life of several generations, his influence on the music scene is undeniable. Roth, who has experienced some of the most exciting years in music history, is now far from the parties and excesses of his youth.

In the past three years, Roth officially has been retiring from music. Instead, he devoted himself to creative hobbies, such as painting and even working as a paramedic. This is contrary to his earlier years when he was known as a "Diamond Dave" for excessive celebrations and scandalous stories, such as the $ 1 million, with which he insured his "little Elvis", or the same sum for insurance against paternity suits. These anecdotes suggest that the wild times are behind him.

The ascent to fame

red's way to celebrity did not start glamorous. His audition at Van Halen in 1974 was a fight. He had to sing three times before Eddie Van Halen and his brother Alex accepted him as a singer. Entry to the band finally turned out to be a turning point in his career. Despite the initial difficulties, the van Halens often borrowed the vocal facility, which indicates the trust they had in his skills.

A typical appearance of Roth was a true show of extravagance. As an entertainer rock star, he was known for his hyperactive stage presence. He often jumped across the stage, with his long blond mane and skin -tight pants, sometimes even without a shirt. Combined with its energetic performance, Roth was the face of the Glam Rock and shaped the image aesthetics of the 1980s.

at the end of the 1980s, however, his time ended with Van Halen and Roth started his solo career. Regardless of this change, he never really seemed to be the focus of being the focus - rather he considered life as a stage where he was simply about the right lighting for his art.

Although David Lee Roth's glamorous days are part of the history of music, the artist has proven over the years that his life is more about more than just fame and parties. With this in mind, we not only celebrate a birthday, but also a remarkable journey of a man who is deeply rooted in rock culture and has left his mark.
