As reported many times, Eddie Van Halen is rumored to struggle with throat cancer for a long time.
Today, Blabbermouth revealed yet another article about Eddie and showed his first-ever photo after these horrible rumors.
As you might see the photo below, famous doctor Todd Lanman, who is widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost spine surgeons and Artificial Disc Replacement innovators, shared the recent photo of Eddie on his Instagram page.
Here is what he said:
“Great seeing Eddie Van Halen in my office yesterday. #movementislife”
A user named nick.pist commented and said that:
“Love the pic. Huge fan from Australia. Hope Ed is doing well health-wise.
He looks great”.
According to TMZ, sources reveal over the years there were times some of the cancer cells migrated down to his throat, and doctors would scrape them out.
Eddie has been traveling to Germany for more than 5 years to get radiation treatment, and for the most part, it’s worked to keep the disease in check.
Van Halen, a legendary band that’s credited with restoring hard rock music to the forefront of the scene have been inactive for a while now. The last Van Halen album titled A Different Kind Of Truth was released back in 2012 and was hugely successful. The band toured for few years and eventually stopped touring once the album cycle ended. In the last few years, there has been a discussion on the possibility of Van Halen reuniting with classic lineup. Although this rumor has been active since 2017, it hasn’t materialized to date. The last update we had was when Sammy Hagar, who fronted the band for more than a decade, hinted about the possibility of a world tour with classic Van Halen lineup.
