We just received this compelling text from Eddie Van Halen's
representatives. We're all pulling for you, Eddie ...
I would like Van Halen fans to know how much I truly appreciate each and
every one of you. Without you there is no Van Halen.
I have always and will always feel a responsibility to give you my best. At
the moment I do not feel that I can give you my best. That's why I have
decided to enter a rehabilitation facility to work on myself, so that in the
future I can deliver the 110% that I feel I owe you and want to give you.
Some of the issues surrounding the 2007 Van Halen tour are within my ability
to change and some are not. As far as my rehab is concerned, it is within my
ability to change and change for the better. I want you to know that is
exactly what I'm doing, so that I may continue to give you the very best I
am capable of.
I look forward to seeing you in the future better than ever and
I thank you with all my heart.
Love,
Ed
