David Lee Roth says ‘nuts’ to allergic reaction report

11:00 AM PT, Jul 11 2008

David Lee Roth onstage with Van HalenDavid Lee Roth has scotched reports that he recently suffered a near fatal allergic reaction after eating nuts while he was in Canada.

According to the report that originated on Southwestern Ontario’s CTV station, Roth had been pulled over for speeding in Ontario in June and told officers he was having a medical emergency, and they subsequently called paramedics.

"I was in Canada only from July 1st through the 4th for a performance at the Quebec City Summer Festival,” Roth said in a statement issued Thursday. “I had no encounters or incidents with the police."

Van Halen’s on-again, off-again lead singer added: “The only thing I'm allergic to is criticism."

We shudder to think of the perils on the road awaiting Peanut Butter Wolf.
