Did Eddie Fall Off The Wagon?
(07/01/04) -- Ever since Van Halen reunited with former singer Sammy Hagar for a massive North American tour, rumors have been spreading that guitarist Eddie Van Halen has been hitting the bottle pretty hard. A few sources claimed that Eddie has been drinking before each concert and acting erratically at certain public places. Even though these rumors are pure conjecture, stories regarding Eddie's incessant drinking and smoking pour in each day. This is nothing new for rock and rollers of course. The problem is that Eddie not only just recovered from cancer, which was caused by his smoking, but he's also supposed to be sober. The latest Eddie sightings came from the BostonHerald.com, which claimed that Eddie made a couple of strange appearances at the Back Bay bar, leaving patrons and employees baffled and a bit worried for the famed rocker. Firstly, the axeman reportedly wandered into the Newbury Street hotspot with his own bottle of wine, which bouncers quickly confiscated. Eddie then returned a couple of nights later, obviously disoriented. He apparently went to up to a table where two young women were eating, stuck his fingers in their water glasses, then blessed them papal style, before stumbling out. Eddie Van Halen's camp has still no comment on these rumors.
