Eddie Van Halen recently took time off to undergo medical procedures, postponing shows the band Van Halen had scheduled. The band reunited Thursday night, however, and by the looks of it the guitarist seemed fit as a fiddle.

Van Halen performed in Reno, Nevada, Thursday night and singer David Lee Roth proclaimed from the stage, "Better late that never!"

Eddie Van Halen, who battled tongue cancer in 2002 and went to rehab last year, looked healthy as he jumped up and down and ran around the stage during the show.

When the concert dates were postponed last month, the band issued a statement that Van Halen, 53, was "undergoing a battery of comprehensive medical tests to determine a defined diagnosis and recommended medical procedures."

Van Halen's ex-wife Valerie Bertinelli dismissed rumors that he was back in rehab. The couple's son, 17-year-old son Wolfgang, who's playing bass on tour, told People.com, "Don't listen to the rumors - he's doing great - seriously!"

Van Halen posed for photographers at the L.A. airport on Thursday with his girlfriend of almost two years, Janie Liszewski, who also happens to be the band's publicist.
