maryportfuncity 10,687 Posted October 14, 2019 According to a tabloid story today Eddie Blames putting metal plectrums in his mouth for his current issues. Missing a trick there IMHO - Michael Douglas blamed a similar problem on his sex addiction and the number of different companions on whom he'd gone down!

ObakeFilter 965 Posted January 10, 2020 David Lee Roth kicked off his Las Vegas residency on Wednesday night, and in a pre-show interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the singer reported that his Van Halen bandmate Eddie Van Halen is “not doing well.” When talking about his decision to book a Vegas residency while Van Halen’s status remains uncertain, Roth said, “Ed’s not doing well, and singing and dancing is a perishable skill. If you have the capacity, it’s something that has to be used routinely, if not for the thrill of it and the magic of creating with other incandescent spirits.” https://consequenceofsound.net/2020/01/david-lee-roth-eddie-van-halen-not-doing-well/?fbclid=IwAR3f2AZnzVeTOxD3US58BlDc0ed54JeD5cpA0_mEbQCeRv2cYGu2AaqJ-PY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
