In his first interview since Eddie Van Halen's death, Alex Van Halen tells all – including the story behind a cancelled tour with David Lee Roth

Alex Van Halen recently dished on a lot in a new interview with Rolling Stone. In the interview, he opened up about some things that bothered him about his late brother, Eddie Van Halen. The duo were part of the band Van Halen for many years.

Alex Van Halen, the co-founder and drummer of the iconic hard rock band Van Halen, has an impressive net worth of $95 million. Born in the Netherlands and raised in California, Alex’s career in music began with his brother Eddie Van Halen and continued to grow into international fame.

The guitarist and drummer formed the core of the powerhouse band. After Eddie died of cancer in 2020, Alex stayed quiet, but he’s breaking his silence in a new book.

After Alex Van Halen and his brother heard Jimi Hendrix, they decided to ditch classical piano in favor of rock ’n roll.

Alex Van Halen hopes 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, tells Billboard.

The drummer also states that Sammy Hagar was "not doing the band justice" on his recent tour. Alex Van Halen Says Van Halen “Not the Same” After David Lee Roth Left: “Magic Was in the First Years”
