Eddie Van Halen rocking rehab

Rock group Van Halen canceled a string

of comeback performances so guitarist Eddie Van Halen

could return to rehab to be treated for alcoholism,

according to World Entertainment News March 6th.

 

Sources tell the National Enquirer the 53-year-old guitarist

checked himself into a clinic near San Antonio, Texas,

so he could detox for a week after a furious backstage

bust-up in Florida with his 17-year-old son and band mate Wolfgang.

 

An insider says,

"It was the big what-if of the tour -

 whether Eddie could stay sober.

"Wolf hates it when his dad drinks.

He knew Eddie was drunk onstage that night,

and was acting cold to him, which set Eddie off.

 

Eddie went berserk and started yanking guitar cables from

the pedal boards and throwing cigarettes around onstage."

 

"At the end of the concert, Eddie was so mad at Wolf,

he punched the amp speaker, knocking it over."

 

This reporter wishes Eddie a speedy recovery.
