 Fake DLR Suffers Peanut Allergy*FAKE* ROTH SUFFERS NEAR FATAL REACTION
Two Canadian police officers have been credited with saving the life of VAN HALEN singer DAVID LEE ROTH - after he suffered a severe allergic reaction. The rocker was pulled over on a stretch of highway in Oakland, Ontario in Canada last month (Jun08), and when cops approached the vehicle, they realised the star was in anaphylactic shock. Roth has an allergy to nuts and was suffering a severe reaction after coming into contact with a contaminated substance. The officers called an ambulance and kept Roth calm until paramedics arrived on the scene, according to Blabbermouth.net. Constable Chris Thompson admits he didn't realise that he was dealing with a famous rock star when he attended to the crisis. He says, "At the time I wasn't star struck, I was just trying to help him. The guy stuck out like a sore thumb. He was wearing a little silk scarf and flashy clothing - it's not something you see in Oakland too often." _________________ WISSRAT SOUNDS - DJ, KARAOKE & TRIVIA (Services) http://WWW.WRSOUNDS.COM REDITUDE (ROCK/METAL COVER BAND) http://WWW.REDITUDE.US |

Re: BREAKING NEWS! - VAN HALEN Diamond Dave turns out to be fake
July 11, 2008 Graham Rockingham The Hamilton Spectator (Jul 11, 2008) It's a story that circulated around the world: Rock star David Lee Roth saved by two OPP officers after suffering a severe allergic reaction to nuts while driving on a country road near Brantford. This newspaper even had a followup to the original wire service story about how the Van Halen singer, dressed in flashy rock-star duds, strutted into a Brantford bar with two nurses after spending the evening in Brantford General Hospital. Only problem: It's not true. The two officers and a lot of other people in the area appear to be victims of a charming imposter. And the rock star himself issued a statement last night, saying, "I was in Canada only from July first through the fourth for a performance at the Quebec City Summer Festival. I had no encounters or incidents with the police. "The only thing I'm allergic to is criticism. -- Love, Dave." His personal publicist, Elaine Schock said, "I don't even understand where (the account) came from. David doesn't drive himself. He has a driver. And he doesn't dress flashy unless he's onstage." This, of course, came as a bit of a shock to the two OPP officers who entered the name "David Lee Roth" into their report of the May 23 incident and later described his flashy dress to CTV news. The officers weren't the only ones fooled. Club patrons, hospital employees, hair stylists, music producers and performers all thought they had spent some quality time with Diamond Dave. "I'm actually trying to figure out what's going on here, myself," said OPP Constable Larry Plummer. "I've been researching ... I'm finding it hard to believe. The first thing we're going to have to do is identify who this person might be." Later in the day, Plummer confirmed it couldn't have been Roth whom the two young officers saved. "On May 23, the day this was supposed to have happened, Roth was performing at Madison Square Garden with Van Halen," he said. Plummer said the officers never asked for identification when they stopped the Mystery Dave's rented car for erratic driving near Oakland, a hamlet south of Brantford. "They were too concerned with helping a man who was in medical distress," Plummer added. Police, however, continue to investigate the identity of the mystery man. After being treated in hospital, Mystery Dave took two nurses to the nearby Liquid Lounge, where he got up and performed with a local band. He even had his picture taken with at least one of them. Liquid Lounge owner Cheri Welsh was drawn in by the flashy scarves and alligator shoes. "I can't understand his motives," she said yesterday. "It's not like he was getting free drinks or anything. He was putting money on the table." Even Phatstick -- the St. Catharines band that jammed out Van Halen's Ice Cream Man with him at the bar -- was impressed. "We weren't totally convinced at first because so many people come to shows saying they are someone famous or related to a star," said drummer Joe Lavergne. "But in Dave's case, he did pretty well." The Mystery Dave also went to the U Are Beautiful salon in Cambridge several times for tanning treatments, hair cuts and dye jobs. "He always paid in cash," said Lesley, who asked that her last name not be used. "He even bought gift certificates." Lesley said the salon gave him one free treatment when he said he was going on MuchMusic. He gave them a private concert in the salon. Lesley said they were initially suspicious because of a gap in the man's teeth, but he explained he always wore a cap when he went onstage. And Dean Hajas, a local songwriter and recording engineer, said he's still certain the man who stayed at his house for three weeks is the real David Lee Roth. "He just phoned me out of the blue and asked if he could come over and do some work," Hajas said. "He's got some of my music ... I talked to him on his cellphone yesterday and he said his publicist would be issuing a press release (today) to clear this mess up." Roth's publicist admits the bizarre story has helped her keep her client's name in the news. "And it's not like it's bad press, it's just odd press," Schock said, adding: "He doesn't stay in places like this. Dave is a Four Seasons kind of a guy." grockingham@thespec.com  _________________ Live it Now... Trevor Chetou812 |
