Alex Van Halen has been largely quiet since his younger brother, Eddie Van Halen, passed away in 2020 after a long battle with cancer.
In his new memoir, Alex Van Halen shares his personal story of family, friendship, music and brotherly love in a remarkable tribute to his beloved brother and Van Halen bandmate, Eddie. “You have to remember we were together for 65 years,” Alex Van Halen says about his late younger brother and fellowEddie Van Halen. “That’s a lifetime, if not more. He’s my brother. We worked together. We were close in everything we did.
Van Halen: You’re very much right on the money. There was more going on than most people recognize or realize. It’s not our place to “teach” people, but there are different layers...it’s hard to express it in words. I mean, everybody gets blinded by the fact Ed was such a phenomenal player you’re not even understanding who the human being was. Maybe people don’t care, but I care. He’s my brother.
Van Halen: I’m not angry at all with Dave. He was one of the three main components of the band. At the time we didn’t recognize it because we were constantly battling things out. That’s why I mentioned that the first person I called when Ed died was Dave because I felt like I owed him that, to the work we had done together and the fact that our families knew each other and the fact that everybody was sort of on the same level, if you will, when we first started.
Van Halen: I’m not interested They’re not part of this. They left, and that’s the way it is. They’re not doing the band justice. They can do what they want to do, that’s not my business. But that’s not what Ed and I do; philosophically Ed and I wanted to create, that’s all.
