March 8, 2007 (from van-halen.com)
I would like Van Halen fans to know how much I truly appreciate each and every one of you. Without you there is no Van Halen.
I have always and will always feel a responsibility to give you my best. 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% that I feel I owe you and want to give you.
Some of the issues surrounding the 2007 Van Halen tour are within my ability to change and some are not. As far as my rehab is concerned, it is within my ability to change and change for the better. I want you to know that is exactly what I’m doing, so that I may continue to give you the very best I am capable of.
I look forward to seeing you in the future better than ever and I thank you with all my heart.
Love,
Ed

Alcohol? Drugs? Pills? All 3? I wonder what he was all jacked up on…
oh, and that picture is pretty pathetic.
Ed makes me mad.. just fucking play and stop drinking after like 10 beers and you’ll be fine.
Not as bad as this one:http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Music/03/09/people.vanhalen.ap/index.html
holy shit…that scare me.
That second picture of Eddie is actually quite flattering. So I guess Michael Anthony and Sammy ended up representing VH at the rock hall of fame?Back to the second pic a moment. Is it me or can you actually see Eddie’s half-tongue-a-ma-jiggy?And his teeth? Are they real? This pic shows why ecstasteve’s life rule of the ten beer limit is really the golden rule of all our lives.Once again, I have to give VH the old double middle fingers.Do you think his life in porn lead him to this state?Mike, you would know this. Do you think so?
I still have all my teeth and a whole tongue so it’s def. not the life of porn. I think it was Van Halen III that did it to him…all of it, his teeth, tongue, wrinkles, super bad tone, fights, divorce, running into a golfer and injuring him with his golf cart…everything. Just listen to the album (or try) and you’ll see what I mean.
