David Lee Roth is on the road, and besides playing Van Halen material, he has decided to add a cover of Billy Joel’s classic song, “New York State of Mind,” released on his 1976 album “Turnstiles”.
He recently revealed in an interview with Associated Press that he sold his publishing catalog for a good amount of money last year and is feeling rich. “I sold my publishing eight months ago. Ask me how I feel… (I feel) rich. (Laughs) For the first time in my life I can rub two coins together and create a little inter,” he said. After a few years away from the stage he returned last year and continues to tour across the United States in 2026.
