Still Sick
Filed under: Old People
Despite assurances that the show would go on….
Van Halen has "postponed" all of their concerts through April 19th.
Eddie is still sick and undergoing tests for an unspecified medical condition.
According to organizers, Van Halen, 53, who has battled tongue cancer and substance abuse, "is currently under doctors' care" and will "continue medical tests to define a course of treatment."
Fans are being asked to keep their tickets, which will be honored for when shows are rescheduled at a later date.

TOO BAD - ANOTHER SMOKER GOING DOWN
FIRST!!!!!!!!! Uh, who cares?
not sounding good for eddie
smoker!!!! he had a hot wife back in the day but smoking destroyed them. smokers!!!! aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
FIRST!!! i have no life
2nd
so, uhm - about the survey from STUDENT … look it over and tell me if you don't think it's perhaps from Perez scouting interest whether people would pay for his *magazine*…just a theory….
first
They are better with Sammy!
Get well, Eddie. Saw these guys live in December and the show was fantastic!
man he looked like he was in his 60s in the mid 90s….i bet he looks like keith richards now
Tongue Cancer?
I dont think so, he just has bad luck when it comes to his health.
as I understand it, his cancer is back.
Kudo's to Perez for covering this…VH was one of the greatest rock bands of all time…and EVH perhaps the greatest rock guitarist ever!
SEE WHAT FELCHING WILL DO!
rehab? try hivhab. This was reported last year. Poor valarie. She's got it too.
Re: b – BEST EVER?
HAHAHHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
Not again! Is he just tired of seeing his ex all over the tv? I LLLLLOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEEEEEE Eddie!!!!
Cancer, revisited.
I'm with the other person that made a note about Perez.. even if it isn't him or done for him let's not give it the satisfaction of wasting 5 minutes. We've wasted enough on here already
So what if he is in rehab???? Does anyone going to rehab shock anyone anymore? IF that is where he is, at least he's got the good sense to admit that he has a problem. Get well Eddie, wherever you are!!
what is the unspecified medical condition?AIDS?
yes in rehab and FUCK no way would I pay for this shit.
Who ever thought any of those guys were hot back in the 80's - ICK! Ed still looks like a little guy in a big hair body. I hope it's hanging to his knee's.
I love me some Van Halen and all, but how incredibly rude to expect people to hold on to their tickets until the band is ready to start their tour again. They have some big balls if you ask me. If I had tickets, I'd demand a refund immediately!!
I wonder if he is freaking about Valerie Bertinelli's book. I just finished it - it's a good read. She talked a lot about his drug use and alcoholism. He threw his marriage and a lot away for his selfish habits.
Are you all seriously crazy thinking he's getting treatment for something other than alcoholism? Has anyone heard that he was bombed on stage and got into fight with Wolfie at one of the shows. He started pulling the cables out of the amps and was DRUNK!!! That's what the treatment is for! Smoking doesn't make him look like that. It's the drugs. My wish is for him to kick it ONCE AND FOR ALL.
PS: I would NEVER pay for gossip!!! No mag for Perez.
Bless you Eddie…and FUCK all you haters! Van Halen Forever!
I had tickets for Thursday night and took time off from work! I bet Eddie is DRUNK and can't perform. Asshole!
The excesses of life will catch everyone at some point. Eddie good luck in your dark hour.
Go ahead and jump….ship that is. There has to be a point where these wrinkled teens get off the stage.
that unspecified condition is hiv/aids if i'm correct. it was a blind item/rumor. google it and you'll see some links. it's unfortunate…
Valerie Bertinelli must be pissed. I would be.
FUCK! DIAMOND DAVE HAS BAD LUCK!
Those Dutch dudes always look a bit nippish..a bet a long time ago a Van Halen fucked an Asian maid or two…
Cancer!
My mother just saw Eddie Van Halen in Maui,Hawaii last week. Rehab maybe? Doctors?
I liked VH back in the day and thought the musicianship of VH was amazing.
I wouldn't cough up the money for a reunion tour ticket though.
Eddie has just shown himself to be a selfish prick.
Someone commented that he was fighting with Wolfie on stage?
That will be lovely if he alienates one of the few people left who can stand him.
WAS THIS PICTURE TAKEN IN FRONT OF A CASTLE GATE IN JAPAN?
They may be old, atleast they don't lip sync and write shit for music like that One Night In Austin crap your promoting…r u for f-ing real Perez?
Eddie has cancer and they're not disclosing it just yet. And I do not think it's lung but more like pancreatic cancer. And drinking and drugging and smoking does not contribute to it. Not like I'm condoning that behavior - just before you start blaming those as factors keep that in mind.
Doesn't the blond guy look a bit like Brendan Fraser??? lol
Good Heavens - get well soon!!!
YEAH, I ALSO HEARD THAT HE HAS H.I.V.
grr, i had tickets for thursday. that sucks
Sources out of Kansas City report he is in Rehab again. Valerie all but confirmed on a radio show last week.
He is in Rehab in Austin TX!!
A friend who is neighbors in Mill Valley with some band memebers tells me Eddie was so wasted on drugs all the time during rehersals for the show he couldn't remember any of the words to the songs, also the band is supposedly only reuniting to do eddie a favor because they were hoping it would help him stay sober and because Eddie is bankrupt and needs the cash.
my stepfather died from complications of tongue cancer. It was due to extreme alcoholism. tobacco doesn't help but the booze is really what that cancer is about.
wake up. of course he's in rehab.
if you only knew what was going on behind the scenes and how many people knew of this beforehand…
get well, Eddie - love from California
There were rumours he is HIV positive ages ago.
Re: skeletor – Good comparison. I saw him recently on T.V. and that is exactly what he looked like.
YES! he IS in rehab. i kind of know! Our charter bus drive drove for van halen last month and he said that the reason they came off the tour is because he's gone into rehab!!!
is evh wearing hockey goalie gloves…good grief
We attended the Van Halen show on February 20th in Ft. Lauderdale. The show was great and everyone had permasmile! After Eddie's solo he exited and Diamond Dave took the stage for his moment. We could see backstage from our seats and to our surprise, as Eddie started back on stage he stopped to headbutt a huge TV monitor! For the rest of the show it was obvious that he was WASTED! HE was stumbling around and could barely sing backup. He almost fell a few times. Also, I was surprised to see him smoking a cig! Isn't he a cancer survivor and didn't he go to rehab? Finally he threw his guitar at some poor guy backstage and knocked over all the amps as the band left the stage. Dave was just laughing at him. I kinda felt sorry for his 17 year old son. How embarassing for your 53 year old dad to be acting like a child! As a diehard fan, I was saddened to see that Eddie was not on top of his game like the others, especially Dave whose body was sick! Yummy for an old man!
Re: Wasted – First!!!!!
looks like tough times for eddie
Saw them in Greensboro NC….they rocked HARD! Diamond Dave…aka WALDO….HELL YEAH! What I would do to that man….
EVH, wish you the best…but there comes a time in all our lives when we have to grow up & stop using. Get well.
