|
|
On Wednesday, December 5, VAN HALEN performed in Vancouver, British Columbia's GM Place to another sold-out house. After VAN HALEN took their final bow, an excited fan jumped onstage running past David Lee Roth while shaking hands with Alex Van Halen. By this time the security was on the stage in pursuit as the fan ran past Eddie Van Halen towards the side of the stage. Ed appeared to try and stop the guy from jumping off the stage by signaling for him to not go that way. The guy didn't heed Ed's warning and attempted to jump off of the stage from what looked like a covered area. Rather than making a clean jump, the curtained floor collapsed beneath him and he went down like a ton of bricks face first. As the security descended upon the guy for an assured beating, Eddie walked off the stage to see if he was alright. Upon seeing that the guy was obviously pretty banged up, Eddie separated him from security and walked with him, arm around shoulder backstage.
"The Rock n' Roll Breakfast Show"'s Reverend Donnie Black will interview "The Fan" on this Friday’s show around 1:30 p.m. PST. Tune in online at this location and hear what happened/
An excerpt from the email exchange between the Reverend and "The Fan":
Rev: So what happened after you and Ed walked off the stage? I was talking about you on our last show, and would love to hear the story.
The Fan: "After I bailed, I noticed security all around me and I accepted my fate then I felt a hand on my shoulder and I thought it was another guard, but I turned and lone behold it was the mighty Eddie Van Halen. Right away he asked if I was alright and told the security to back off and not beat me to a pulp…"
At the very end of the YouTube clip below you will see the guy run past the band. After he is out of frame you can hear the crowd "Oooh," as he bails off the stage. Ed walks over to him and the video ends shortly afterwards. There will be another clip coming soon which shows when Ed puts his arm around the guy and walks off the stage.

The story continues:
"The Fan: So, I as Ed and I walked backstage, out of public view, I asked him, "Dude...WHERE THE HELL IS MIKEY...AND SAM?!?!? It was at this point Ed threw me back to his hellhounds, where they commenced beating me like I owed them money." |
