After it was reported that heavy drinking played a role in the cancellation of the Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth's reunion tour Eddie announces he is entering rehab....so, like, what else is new?
In the spirit of the ever revolving door Eddie Van Halen announced today he was entering rehab. In a letter to his fans he expressed his appreciation for them, and his sincere wish to "work on himself"......
FROM EDDIE
I would like Van Halen fans to know how much I truly appreciate each and every one of you. Without you there is no Van Halen.
I have always and will always feel a responsibility to give you my best. At the moment I do not feel that I can give you my best. That’s why I have decided to enter a rehabilitation facility to work on myself, so that in the future I can deliver the 110% that I feel I owe you and want to give you.
Some of the issues surrounding the 2007 Van Halen tour are within my ability to change and some are not. As far as my rehab is concerned, it is within my ability to change and change for the better. I want you to know that is exactly what I’m doing, so that I may continue to give you the very best I am capable of.
I look forward to seeing you in the future better than ever and I thank you with all my heart.
Love,
Ed
Wow, how moving. He is probably enjoying a full body massage as we speak, followed by a sea weed facial and fresh prawns in a light butter sauce for dinner......
