Which other David Lee Roth tour dates were canceled?

Why does this David Lee Roth cancellation matter for fans?
The East Moline date was framed as part of a national tour stop for the Van Halen-era frontman and solo star. Cutting multiple mid-to-late summer shows leaves a short run of remaining opportunities to catch him live.
A recent concert review from Sound Check Entertainment covered his “Don’t Love Me, Rent Me” tour at River Cree Resort near Edmonton, noting the run started in April and was set to wrap in late August. With several U.S. dates now scrubbed, that end-of-tour window looks much thinner for American audiences.
If you held tickets for Dillon, Clear Lake, Louisville, East Moline, or La Vista, treat the shows as off and pursue refunds through your seller. Anyone still eyeing Sturgis should verify the listing remains active before making travel plans.
