Alex Van Halen releasing new memoir
Alex Van Halen has said that he is hopeful that those coming to his new memoir, Brothers, for a tell-all will be disappointed.
“It’s not about the dirt,” Van Halen, older brother and bandmate of the late Eddie Van Halen, told Billboard.
“If I start throwing dirt, it’ll never end. I think some people would like that; that’s how projects are sold nowadays. I think it divides the audience, and we’re not here to divide. I think the tone of the book and how I want the book to be perceived is more on a spiritual and creative level. That’s why there’s very little, or any, dirt in there.
“The majority of things that were written about Ed were third party,” he continues.
“They weren’t really there. I’m not degrading any of it, but it’s not accurate. I really felt like a lot of the stuff that was out there was incorrect, and it didn’t do justice to the more sensitive side of Ed. So before I die I would like to at least partially set the record straight.”
Brothers will be released on October 22nd and it’s written with New Yorker staff writer Ariel Levy and acknowledges the s*x and drugs and rock n’ roll. However, as the title indicates it’s primarily a chronicle of the drummer’s relationship with his guitar hero brother, who passed way during October 2020 at the age of 65 after a long battle with cancer.
