Sources tell TMZ the Van Halen tour has just been canceled!

We're told arrangements are being made right now to cancel hotel stays for the tour -- which was scheduled to continue through April 19th. Sources tell us the reason for the cancellation is Eddie -- that he is having "issues."

The last three shows had already been canceled. There have been reports that Eddie was out of it during concerts -- and video of recent performances in which his guitar playing was atrocious.

Reps could not be reached for comment.

Said video. Can't really hear much. But the solo around the middle... oh my God that is attrocious. It's worse than Dave Mustaine's solo on Cemetary Gates. 10000000x worse.

Oh....poor soul, he is rich,famous and plays guitar for a living yet he has issues! Are you F#$cking kidding me, we have to wake up to go to work and hate every minute of it but don't cry like babies!

Never liked his music but he is a guitar-hero for many.

I'm surprised the tour lasted this long. I was sure it'd fall apart earlier.

Not really a surprise, but doesn't make it any more ridiculous.

And, yeah, that solo in that song was HORRIBLE. I could play it better than that and I'm not even a great lead guitarist. This is one of the greatest guitarists in rock music and now look at where he is.

Seems twirling the mic stand came to the rescue on that one.

"Quick, divert the crowd away from Eddie's playing!"

It's sad to see that he's not doing too good

i'm going to say the same as what I did when I saw the mustain (dt) cemetery gates vid posted...

why do they get on stage when they know they cant play it...
I've at least seen mustaine with megadeth, And it was GOOD

Dude, there's a difference between being pissed of with your job and dealing with drug, alcohol and other health issues. There's clearly something wrong with the guy; you don't go from being a guitar god to that for no reason whatsoever.

At the end of the day, he's another human being just like you and me; there's no need to be a dick about it

MerlinTKD · 03-03-2008, 08:11 AM

Very sad

Heh, clear from the video what Dave's drug is... I suppose being a junkie for applause carries fewer direct health risks.

Eddie doesn't even LOOK good in that video... hollowed out again, like he did before. Hate it for him.. hate it even more for his brother and kid.

darren · 03-03-2008, 09:23 AM

That's sad to see. When i saw them back in December, i thought Ed looked really healthy, happy and like he was having a great time.

Uber Mega · 03-03-2008, 09:29 AM

Damn, that sucks, Dave seems to be on fire here aswell!

playstopause · 03-03-2008, 10:05 AM

I expected a bigger train wreck than this... Even tough it was quite bad.

Poor Eddie... Rehab again?
