Alex Van Halen to Late Brother: ‘See You on the Other Side’

After initially remaining silent, drummer Alex Van Halen has spoken out on the passing of his brother and bandmate Eddie Van Halen. The oldest Van Halen brother sent a childhood photo of himself and Eddie, posing on a wooden horse with a toy drum in front of them, to the Van Halen News Desk website. In a note accompanying the pic, Alex wrote, “Hey Ed. Love you. See you on the other side. Your brother, Al.” Eddie died Tuesday after a lengthy battle with throat cancer. He was 65 years old.
