The latest tidbit from the Van Halen saga comes by way of Eddie Van Halen’s ex-wife Valerie Bertinelli who is quoted by People magazine saying that Eddie is not in rehab and he is sober.

She does not go into any detail about what medical problem Eddie is dealing with but does say that he is being proactive about his illness.

I suppose it is natural for people to make assumptions about someone who was in rehab not all that long ago, and all the secrecy surrounding Van Halen’s condition certainly doesn’t do much to help that situation.

There is no reported change in the group’s tour plans since the last update that said the tour will resume on April 19 in Las Vegas.
