VAN HALEN guitarist Eddie Van Halen has released the following statement:

"I would like VAN HALEN fans to know how much I truly appreciate each and every one of you. Without you there is no VAN HALEN.

"I have always and will always feel a responsibility to give you my best. At the moment I do not feel that I can give you my best. That's why I have decided to enter a rehabilitation facility to work on myself, so that in the future I can deliver the 110% that I feel I owe you and want to give you.

"Some of the issues surrounding the 2007 VAN HALEN tour are within my ability to change and some are not. As far as my rehab is concerned, it is within my ability to change and change for the better. I want you to know that is exactly what I'm doing, so that I may continue to give you the very best I am capable of.

"I look forward to seeing you in the future better than ever and I thank you with all my heart."

Geoff Boucher of the Los Angeles Times reports that David Lee Roth, VAN HALEN's frontman for the band's first decade, said Thursday (March he will not attend the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony because event officials have turned down his repeated overtures to perform.

"I don't make speeches for a living; I sing and dance for my dinner," Roth said, adding that the decision to skip the event "rips my heart out."

The Hall of Fame's event organizers plan for VELVET REVOLVER to perform some VAN HALEN classics, much as METALLICA stood in last year to play BLACK SABBATH songs while that band's members watched from the audience. "So it appears this is a television producer's decision," Roth said.

The choice of VELVET REVOLVER was in response to a sticky situation as far as what lineup of VAN HALEN could take the stage to perform with Roth. VAN HALEN's revered guitar hero, Eddie Van Halen, and his brother, drummer Alex, had already sent signals that they would not be in New York. The Van Halens have been in lock-down mode since their plans for a summer reunion tour with Roth collapsed last month. Roth said he last spoke to Eddie Van Halen's camp a week ago, and he said he could not determine the truth about reports that the guitarist is seeking help for alcohol problems.

"Ed is indisposed and working toward a better future here," Roth said. "If Ed ever dries up, this is going to be a stadium act, man.... What's happening here with this [New York event] is part and parcel of the same spiral that screwed up the tour."

The Police I could care less about. They have a show here slated for the Oakland Coliseum Stadium but honestly I dont see them selling 55,000 seats. The Police are has beens and have been generally forgotton. Van Halens greatest mistake was cutting Dave back in 1986. Van Halen went from selling out 80,000 seat stadiums to not attracting 1500 people with the guy from extream singing. Dave made that band, so even if they didnt get along Van Halen was nothing without Roth. After Daves solo career tanked he went to doing circus acts in Las Vegas I believe. Van Halen suffered without Dave. Sammy seems ok on his own but hes horrific with Van Halen. After Howard Stern went to Satalite Radio Dave was offered a radio show by Clearchannel Communications to replace Howard. But NOBODY can replace Howard Stern and Dave was fired after only 2 radio shows. The Rock N Roll Hall is a sham anyways. Allowing in bands like REM and the pretenders , bands that havent been around long enough or just are plane bad while ignoring the greatest talents. On top of that once a band is inducted they have to pay to get in. Thats why Neil Young told the hall off when he was offered a spot.

Im still waiting for the day Kiss gets allowed in.
