LOS ANGELES - Eddie Van Halen has said he will enter rehab for unspecified reasons.
In a statement addressed to fans Thursday on Van Halen’s Web site, the guitarist said he decided to seek treatment because “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 percent that I feel I owe you and want to give you,” the statement said.

Sammy talks alot about the '04 reunion tour...and how awful it was...

Haggar said that EVH was drunk before most of the concerts started...and when they played Chicago...EVH stopped playing about an hour into the show...was too drunk to continue.

Better late than never...hope he gets the help he needs.

Eddie not the only VH member aging ungracefully

According to David Lee Roth, alcohol has not been the only problem of Eddie's in later years: an accidental use of Crystal Meth, often found in street Cocaine, led Van Halen to grow a strong addiction on the drug, and as an effect, he allegedly is unable to sustain the burden of lengthy tours and performances. ... Since the 2004 tour, Eddie Van Halen has disappeared from the public eye, until a recent apparition at the 14th annual Elton John Academy Awards viewing dinner and after-party, in West Hollywood, California, held on March 5th, 2006. Fans stood in extreme worry at the pictures of the event, picturing the guitarist in bad health and apparently under the influence of alcohol.

What exactly is "an accidental use of crystal meth"?

This drug is ravaging many around the nation.

 

[TonyMar]

EVH did not disappear completely...

He just started composing guitar-riffs for porno's.

Heard that's how he met his new publicist...she came from that industry.

I had a buddy tell me about 15 years ago that EVH was a hardcore speed addict.....says Valerie was a user too but not near as much as Eddie. Buddy had a good source.

After looking at those pics, there is zero doubt that was the case. Shit just rots your teeth away and adds about 10 years onto your appearance.
