After it was reported that heavy drinking played a role in the cancellation of Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth’s reunion tour, Eddie announced he was going into rehab. “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,” he wrote in a statement. “At the moment, I do not feel 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 I feel I owe you and want to give you.”
NOW we know the real reason why Van Halen’s reunion tour got canceled last month. According to Rolling Stone magazine, it wasn’t just “ego clashes” between Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth – it was because of Eddie’s alleged “alcohol problems.” The magazine says group members at first “were thrilled about Roth’s first shows with Van Halen since 1984.” Former bandmate Sammy Hagar said Eddie “was drinking 24/7″ during the band’s 2004 tour. He’s not expected to attend when the group is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Monday.

Eddie Van Halen has coupled up with porno director Michael Ninn to write and perform two songs for the new Ninn Worx feature, “Sacred Sin.” This will be the first time a famous rocker has lent his name to an adult film, AVN.com reports. The tunes are called “Rise” and “Catherine,” a remix of the theme from Ninn’s 2005 movie of the same title. Van Halen is not worried he’ll be criticized for penning porn music. “I’m working with a friend – very simple. I like his work. Michael Ninn is like Spielberg to me: the imagery, the way he makes things look, just sensual,” he said.
