Wolfgang Van Halen is speaking out in his defense. When David Lee Roth, former lead singer of Van Halen, railed against Wolfgang in an intense rant in January, Wolfgang stayed silent. Now, he is sharing his thoughts on the situation, suggesting that Roth is only targeting him because his father, guitarist Eddie Van Halen, is no longer alive.
