According to a statement issued by publicist Janie Liszewski of High Profile Media, Eddie Van Halen has decided to enter a rehab center. In the statement, Eddie said, “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 percent 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.”
