Speaking with Blabbermouth in an interview published yesterday, Feb. 24, the Whitesnake and Winger axe-man, who’s collaborated with Chaka Khan, the Bee Gees, and Twisted Sister, didn’t hold back, calling Whitesnake’s farewell tour “terrible” while throwing out ideas for getting back on the road.

“To be back on stage with David, unleashing that historic monster of a track … was an honor,” Vaid told Tipot Rock in November 2025.
To feel David‘s energy on the stage again, and Tommy Aldridge‘s slamming beats, and to finally be able to jam with my friend @joelhoekstra13 and the rest of the “Snakes” in front of 45,000 people was just electrifying. Deep appreciation to all. 2/2 pic.twitter.com/E8k4hrzS5x
— Steve Vai (@stevevai) June 24, 2022On the band’s official website, Coverdale shared a message for fans that reads, “It is with profound disappointment and a heavy heart that I must announce that Whitesnake will no longer be able to join the Scorpions on their US and Canadian tour due to my continued treatment for a persistent upper respiratory infection that affects my ability to perform. This includes the cancellation of our own headlining shows as well.”
Coverdale, who is also the former vocalist of Deep Purple, officially retired last year, at 74, telling fans on Instagram that he’s “hanging up his rock and roll platform shoes and skintight jeans” to enjoy retirement.
As for Beach, the Pittsburgh native is not done playing. Currently, he enjoys doing standup comedy and playing guitar with supergroup Black Swan, which includes singer Robin McAuley, drummer Matt Starr, and bass player Jeff Pilson of Foreigner. The crew’s third studio album, Paralyzer, drops Feb. 27.

And John Roth is in that band. A lot of people don't know that. He's been in Winger since 1993. He sings like a bird. They got him.”
“I had some choices. It's like, ‘Okay, do I want to take Reb Beach's '80s Guitar Extravaganza on the road?' Get great musicians and get some other has-been '80s guys like me [laughs] and go out there and do Whitesnake, Winger, Cinderella songs. People love that! They would love that. It would be great.
Capping off the interview, he offered his biggest dream yet: “If I get a call from Def Leppard saying their guitar player broke his hand, I'm going to be there in a second. I'd love to go on a tour. That's where I belong. I belong on the road. I'm a road dog. I love hotels and being with the guys. I was born for it."
