Van Halen disbanded following the 2020 death of guitarist Eddie Van Halen, but tensions among the surviving members persist.

Singer David Lee Roth recently criticized Wolfgang Van Halen, Eddie's son who played bass with the band from 2007 to 2015 and now leads his own band, Wolfgang WVH. In a YouTube video, Roth disparaged Wolfgang, accusing him of nepotism and recounting an incident where Wolfgang allegedly removed an accountant from a backstage area, mistaking her for Roth’s girlfriend. Wolfgang's representative did not respond immediately.

The video features a mock interview where Roth caricatures Wolfgang as overly reliant on his father’s legacy rather than his own talent. Roth also claimed Wolfgang took revenge on him by ejecting a woman from two concerts, misidentifying her as Roth's girlfriend when she was actually the tour’s accountant.

Wolfgang has not directly responded to Roth’s comments but suggested in a 2022 interview that Roth's behavior was a factor in the cancellation of a planned tribute concert for Eddie Van Halen.
