Edward Van Halen Undergoes Emergency Surgery

[Romeo Delight]

Could this be the reason why the second leg was cancelled initially?

Maybe Ed was experiencing some issues and they weren't sure what was up and called it fatigue or whatever?

The worst part is what Spamburgler's comments will be.......he should take that shit book of his and shove up his own colon for the shit his defamatory comments injured Ed. Verbatim "Ed and I have had our differences in the past etc... I still love the guy" Fuck U Spam

This is bad news just as he was getting his shit together, and may go some way to explain some of the goings on recently

I feel like there's probably some truth to this... It makes a lot more sense than being tired.
I'm hoping there's an update from the VH camp in the next week or 2.

I can't count the number of times I have taken a close family friend to the hospital over this desease the Broth Drops (trying to put good bacteria back in the colon after antibiotic treatments to remove the viruses caused by inflamations) once my friend almost died because the broth drop was vomited back into the lungs.

Almost 7 years of treatments..... I have thought surgury to remove the colon may be the best answer. I huge complicated decision.

It is a very common ailment many people don't know they have.

Take care ED................ we are there.

Man our hero's are gettin' old ! Best wishes Ed. Gives Dave a chance to get his voice rested also. Sounds like Japan will get some great shows when they get back on the road.

Yes...my Aunt (Mom's twin sister) has fought this battle for years. And the pain is very intense. Sorry to hear the news. Ed, hope you feel better soon. Hang in there and we'll all hope that '13 is a "lucky" year coming up. Godspeed!!!

You guys should look up recovery times for this surgury before you expect Ed funtioning in 2013.

Hate to say it.....Perhaps they have improved with micro surgury ...but he is down for awhile.

Liquid diet for a months maybe..?

I still think it was general band fatigue that nixed the 2nd leg.

Diverticulitis has some nasty symptoms (bloating, bloody diarrhea, cramping pain, etc) and I doubt Ed would put off an urgent doctor visit until now if he was having these problems back in May.

Looking at the comments on Facebook you start to wonder if any Van Halen fans at all know the difference between your and you're.
