Mitch Malloy performed Ain’t Talkin’ ’bout Love with Michael Anthony at the Vegas Rocks! Magazine Awards on September 20. After the performance, Malloy praised Anthony and said he was pleased to be onstage with him again.

Malloy said he was told he had gotten the job with Van Halen after his 1996 audition. A recording of Malloy singing Panama during the Van Halen audition was leaked online.

Van Halen has not been active in any form since the end of the group’s 2015 tour. Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony’s Best of All Worlds tours have focused on music from the Van Hagar era, with Joe Satriani and Kenny Aronoff.

The Best of All Worlds residency at Park MGM is scheduled to end on September 26, with no plans for it to continue afterward. Hagar said he wanted to stop being identified with Van Halen and said the Best of All Worlds tour was initially planned only for 2024. He said the success of the tour led to the Las Vegas residency.
