VAN HALEN THANKS FANS FOR SUPPORT
Rocker EDDIE VAN HALEN has issued a statement expressing his gratitude to fans who supported him as he battled alcoholism in rehab earlier this year (07).

The guitarist postponed a summer (07) Van Halen tour to seek help for his heavy drinking, and feared fans would be far from understanding - but now admits he has been humbled by an outpouring of support.
In a message posted on his website on Saturday (26May07), Van Halen writes, "I want to say thank you to all the Van Halen fans for the tons of emails and all the support they provided when I was in rehab earlier this year.
"It was an intensely personal thing that I'm not really comfortable talking about right now, but I want everyone to know that their support has, and always will, mean the world to me. I want everyone to know that I am truly grateful."
Meanwhile, Van Halen has agreed to give his first full post-rehab interview to the September (07) issue of Guitar World magazine, where he'll talk about his new custom-made amplifier, the EVH 5150 III.
