Eddie Van Halen Requires Emergency Surgery

Eddie Van Halen has been floored by a diagnosis of Diverticulitis, which has forced Van Halen to postpone their tour of Japan. After already overcoming tongue cancer, this surely does not come as welcome news to the reunited Van Halen.

Eddie Van Halen underwent an emergency surgery for a severe bout of Diverticulitis. No further surgeries are needed and a full recovery is expected within 4 – 6 months.

Van Halen‘s scheduled November 2012 tour of Japan is currently being rescheduled and the band looks forward to seeing and playing for their fans in 2013.

Somebody get him a doctor.

What is Diverticulitis?

Diverticulitis is small, bulging sacs or pouches of the inner lining of the intestine (diverticulosis) that become inflamed or infected. Most often, these pouches are in the large intestine (colon)

Sounds awful. Symptoms are uncommon, bar bloating or tenderness to the abdomen.
