Whoever tipped off TMZ must've not had the whole picture. Of course they are canceling and rebooking lots of hotel rooms, etc.

.... oh wait.... TMZ has revised their story.....

Van Halen Tour Is On Like Donkey Kong!
Posted Mar 3rd 2008 5:42PM by TMZ Staff

Van Halen's current tour, much like most of their members, has been brought back from the dead.
As we first reported, the group canceled remaining tour dates and hotel reservations through April 19. Live Nation, the company behind the tour, says that Eddie Van Halen is undergoing a battery of comprehensive medical tests to determine a defined diagnosis and recommended medical procedures. They say these dates are rescheduled starting April 24.

Eddie checked into rehab last year for alcohol-related issues

leave it to Ed to keep the drama alive

Well, last night I was hopeful. I thought it was all BS.

Now I see it like one of those creeping airport delays: Flight's 30 minutes late... flight's an hour late... SHIT. Flight's cancelled!

I ain't holding my breath for no more shows.

When did they ever say it was over ??

I've been quietly sittin back watchin everyone get hysterical
over TMZ or whatever the fuck they are called..

Since this reunion they have actually bothered about releasing
statements via their web-site, so now you have the story..

Its obvious from the last show that EVH is having some dramas..

You guys gotta chill, this is not over by a long shot....

If I hadnt had a drink in 6 months, I'd be getting really edgy right
about now too !! lol...

When its over, they will announce it.. Its not like Brad Starks
has to receive some secret code via email anymore..

[Douglas T.]

Their quote just reminded me of that video ... they have a website? Show is entertaining at times. They are stretching it alot!

That's a funny video -- checking in here before going to bed. TMZ.com came before the TV show. They are owned by the company that has FOX -- I think -- anyhow -- I sent them an email of displeasure over the EVH photo choice. It was an old photo and looked nothing like him on this tour. At least they used a current tour photo for the second, yet still incorrect, revision. That story didn't make it to their TV broadcast. Some stuff just gets on their web site.

I don't think its over. Its just one day at a time. It could be any number of things from falling off the wagon (probably), tour fatigue + cancer survivor, arthritis -- I posted a quote from Val's book over in the Bertinelli book thread. She witnessed tech/equip problems at the Toronto concert and said that historically would send him off in a "alcohol-fueled rage." There's been a crap load of sound tech issues. Heck, I've got relative who, one of his many falls off the wagon, was just because he was sad that Stevie Ray Vaughn died.

Now some compassion, haven't seen much of that around;

Hope it's not all to serious with Ed, get well man..

We all know why we are on this forum, who's our main man, but these 2 need each other just like a pancake needs the maple syrup and vice versa...
