LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actress Valerie Bertinelli has said her ex-husband Eddie Van Halen is not in rehab, but she declined to say exactly what is ailing the rock guitarist, People.com reported on Wednesday.
"The reports about him being in rehab are wrong. Eddie is sober," Bertinelli said at a New York luncheon hosted by cable TV's Hallmark Channel, according to the Web site of celebrity magazine People.
This month rock band Van Halen, which Eddie co-founded with his brother Alex, canceled its tour dates until April 19 and said the 53 year-old guitarist is undergoing medical tests. But the band has not divulged details of his illness.
In the 1990s, Eddie Van Halen had hip replacement surgery and was treated for oral cancer. He also has battled alcohol abuse with a stint in rehab, which led to current speculation about a return to treatment.
Bertinelli on Wednesday said "he's being proactive about his illness" but declined to be more specific.
Van Halen had a string of hits including "Runnin' with the Devil" and "Panama" starting in the late 1970s. In August the group unveiled plans for its current 25-city North American tour that began in September 2007. |

Yes, I remember when "Panama" came out in the late 70's....
Seriously...Glad to hear he has not fallen off the wagon. But, I hope that his condition is not serious. |

This is interesting...because yesterday (4/7/08) Valerie was on the Rachel Ray show and she said "The rumors are NOT true!" but she never said he was NOT in rehab.
Regardless, its good to know this is not a rehab-related issue and hopefully Eddie's medical condition is improved (hearing? arm/shoulder?). And I hope Eddie finally realized that if Van Halen is going to be a huge success at Tiger Jam (the first stop back on the tour) he better spend some time in the studio practicing all the old tracks AND HIS SOLO.

"Tiger Jam" is not the first date back on the tour. Reno is. |
