On June 4, another of his autographed guitars will be up for auction at the Stars Guitars fundraiser in Dearborn, Mich. The money raised at the event will “provide college scholarships to young cancer survivors and helps with long-term treatment plans to make sure they stay healthy.”
A black guitar signed by Eddie is available, with the current bid at $1,100. Other auction items include: salon services, sports memorabilia, and guitars autographed by other rock stars (such as Ace Freely, Cyndi Lauper, and the members of Boston).
After nearly 8 months of relentlessly deciphering Tweets, interviews, and photos, fans have no more information than they did when Van Halen left the stage at the end of their last tour.
