Van Halen hit the road on January 5th and for the second time this year they have postponed several dates.
The first time was because they took on too many dates, but this time it is because Eddie Van Halen suffered complications from a surgery and will need several months to recover. The band announced the news on their site by saying, “Eddie Van Halen underwent an emergency surgery for a severe bout of Diverticulitis. No further surgeries are needed and a full recovery is expected within 4 – 6 months.” According to
KSDK he went in to have surgery to deal with the Diverticulitis, but he popped some of the stitches and that caused an infection. He spent three weeks in the hospital and now he’s at home recovering for the next few months.
Their November tour in Japan is postponed until he gets better which hopefully will be soon!
