The reason for this discrepancy is, when Van Halen was first launched, the band members lied about their age, to give the group a more youthful image. Roth is best known as the original and current lead singer of the southern California-based hard rock outfit Van Halen. After departing Van Halen in 1985 Roth first enjoyed a successful career as a solo artist, which originated while still a member of that band and yielded several RIAA-certified Gold and Platinum records. After more than two decades apart, Roth rejoined Van Halen in 2007 for a North American tour that became the most successful in the band's history and one of the highest grossing of that year. Roth has remained the lead singer of Van Halen since his 2007 return and has recently completed recording new material with the band for their first album since 1998.
  • David Lee Roth, born 1954, is the son of the late Nathan Roth, an ophthalmologist, and Sibyl Roth, and the brother of Allison and Lisa Roth.

One of his grandmothers was from the Azores, Portugal. Roth's uncle, Manny Roth, is an influential New York City nightclub owner and entertainment entrepreneur. Manny Roth built and owned the famous New York establishment Cafe Wha? in the early 1960s, when the likes of Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix were working there. Seven-year-old David Lee got his first taste of, and desire for, show business from the inside by hanging out at Cafe Wha?. Manny would be one of Roth's first guests on Dave's short- lived radio show that took place when he replaced Howard Stern. Roth moved to Pasadena, California in his teens after living in Swampscott, Massachusetts and Bloomington, Indiana. Roth stated he bounced around too many schools, and spent three years going to a psychiatrist. According to Dave's Rolling Stone interview in 1985, he eventually wound up at a ranch for troubled teens where he was given a horse to take care of. Roth was educated at The Webb Schools in Claremont, California and John Muir High School (Pasadena, California). He later attended Pasadena City College (as did the Van Halen brothers, Eddie and Alex), although he did not graduate. During this period Roth worked as a hospital orderly.
