Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan and his wife Susan have shared the first 2019 video of Eddie Van Halen from his birthday party. Eddie appeared to be in very good spirits, thanking everyone in attendance.
Susan Holmes McKagan wrote on Instagram, “Happy Birthday #EVH !!!We LoVE You! Killer nt w @officialduffmckagan celebratin’ your bday 🎸‼️🎉🎶🔥#comedians 🤣#salsadancinglessons 💃🏼🕺🏽and #cake 🎂oh my 💥 @janievanhalne u throw one hell of a partay 😀👌🏽😘💋Xxooxoxo 🤘🏼@eddievanhalen.”
Eddie’s wife Janie Van Halen wrote about the party on Twitter, “Threw a little birthday party for someone this weekend 😉😁 #cupcakes #somuchfun #eventplanner Still ridin the sugar high 😂.”
Eddie Van Halen recently gave first interview of 2019 in a new issue of Golf Magazine, though he did not discuss the status of Van Halen, and may have sidestepped questions about the band in a hilarious way.
He said he isn’t competitive when playing golf.
“Naw. I’ll hit a good ball and then two bad ones. I don’t even keep score, man. What’s the point? I know it’s going to be in the hundreds. The worst thing is my putting. The thing is: I never practice.”
He also said, “If you really want to be good you have to spend the time, like I did learning to play guitar. That’s how many hours you got to put in if you really want to be a pro or really, really good. You got to go out there and hit buckets and buckets and buckets of balls.”
The interview ended abruptly before any music questions could be asked, including potentially discussing the rumored Van Halen reunion.
He said, “I gotta go. There’s a coyote in my backyard. Big fucker.”
