A rock legend was seen embarking on a rare excursion in Los Angeles last week while enjoying the hot summer weather.
The star is known as the lead vocalist for an iconic hard rock band that jumped to fame in the 70s and 80s.
In 1985, the performer decided to focus on a solo career and temporarily left the group - and has released six studio albums on his own.
The music artist reached a milestone when he was officially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.
He is also set to kick off a summer tour later this month which will come to an end in mid-September.
But can you guess who it is?
The star is known as the lead vocalist for an iconic hard rock band that jumped to fame in the 70s and 80s - who is he?
It is David Lee Roth, 70 - the former lead vocalist of the hard rock band Van Halen, which has dropped hits such as Jump and Why Can't This Be Love.
The star was seen on an errand run last week on Thursday while sporting a pair of dark brown overalls as well as a jacket layered on top.
He added a black shirt underneath and slipped into a pair of brown boots to complete the overall outfit.
Roth additionally wore a light green cap on top of his head and loosely tied a colorful handkerchief around his neck.
David was born on October 1954 in the city of Bloomington, Indiana - but later moved to Pasadena, California with his family when he was a teenager.
In his later teen years, the star had begun to follow his passion for performing on stage with solo gigs and was also in a band at the time called Red Ball Jets.
While attending Pasadena City College, Roth first crossed paths with brothers and fellow musicians Eddie and Alex Van Halen.
The siblings were part of their own band called Mammoth - which David eventually became the lead singer for. The group was officially formed in 1973 under the changed name of Van Halen.

During a past interview with Howard Stern, Roth opened up about choosing the name Van Halen - and also revealed that another potential name had been Rat Salad, per American Songwriter.
'Let's make something that's going to have some longevity to it, that has a little bit of shadow, and a little mystery,' he had expressed to the group at the time.
'You're not sure what a Van Halen is. It's like Santana. That could be the name of a place, it could be the name of a person.'
The original members of the rock band had included David, drummer Alex Van Halen, guitarist Eddie Van Halen and bassist Michael Anthony.
In 1978, the group released its debut studio album Van Halen which landed the number 19 spot on the Billboard 200 chart.
The following year, their second LP Van Halen II was dropped and contained other hits such as Dance The Night Away.
The band continued to create albums over the next four years including Women And Children First (1980), Fair Warning (1981), Diver Down (1982) and 1984 (1984).
1984 was a critical and commercial success for Van Halen, and the LP peaked at the number two spot on the billboard 200 - where it stayed for five weeks. Some tracks on the album included Jump, Panama and Hot For Teacher.
The next year, Roth left the band following creative differences with other members and wanting to pursue a solo career.
His debut solo studio album Eat 'Em And Smile was released in 1986 - and was a success for Roth.
When he left Van Halen, Sammy Hagar replaced Roth as the lead vocalist for the band.
But in 2007, Roth reunited with Van Halen for a tour which came to an end the following year and reportedly raked in $93 million. Eddie's son Wolfgang Van Halen had also been a part of the performances.
In 2012, the band later went on tour once again which was called A Different Kind Of Truth Tour - and was also in support of the group's LP of the same name.
Roth previously revealed that his favorite album that the band released was the first LP that dropped in 1978.
'That's the one that came "no mind"; it happened because we played for years in the clubs and the bars. That's where you really sharpen that without thinking,' David explained, per Far Out Magazine.
'You know, you're playing to make the mortgage, the rent for the apartment, so to speak. When you go into the studio, it is so completely familiar.'
He continued, 'You're, what's the term in theatre? You're "off-book." You are so "off-book" that you know it better than your home phone number.'
The singer later added, 'When you are so "off-book," it means you don't have to read the script. You know every syllable, and you don't think about it at all.
'Your mind is somewhere else entirely, "no mind." You become the studio, and you play the music. Your whole mind is on where the music is going to be, where it's going to sound, etc...'
Eddie Van Halen - the band's original guitarist - passed away in 2020 following a battle with cancer.
At the time, his son Wolfgang said in a tweet: 'I can't believe I'm having to write this but my father, Edward Lodewijk Van Halen, has lost his long and arduous battle with cancer this morning.
'He was the best father I could ever ask for. Every moment I've shared with him on and off stage was a gift....My heart is broken and I don't think I will ever fully recover from this loss.'
Roth also paid tribute to the late Eddie Van Halen by penning, 'What a Long Great Trip It's Been..'
KISS member Gene Simmons also shared, 'My heart is broken. Eddie was not only a Guitar God, but a genuinely beautiful soul. Rest in peace, Eddie!'
Back in 2021, Roth announced his retirement - but revealed this year that he is going on a summer tour beginning on July 22 in Paso Robles, California.
He shared the dates to his Instagram page back in May - and will take to the stage in other cities throughout the U.S. such as Tampa, Atlantic City, Kansas City and San Diego.
The concerts will officially conclude on September 14 in Napa, California.
