On April 9th,  during an interview with Howard Stern, Michael Anthony stated that he was recently contacted by Van Halen Camp’s team and management. According to Consequence of Sound, Michael Anthony, the former bassist for Van Halen Camp said that they contacted him in October about creating a reunion, but nothing really took off from there. He shared that the conversation was short and nothing really came from it. The last time Anthony was able to speak to the band was their last performance in 2004.
