Inside The Devastating Death Of The Late Legendary Rockstar Eddie Van Halen

In this episode, series regular and expert Dr. Michael Hunter analyzes Eddie Van Halen’s medical history as well as many testimonies from medical experts and friends of the late rockstar who almost all point to his excessive alcohol consumption as the possible cause for his death.

“He would tell me at least two or three times that he was sober and he would always fail, his addiction was so overwhelming and so powerful,” says Van Halen’s biographer Steve Rosen, who contributed extensively to the upcoming documentary set to premiere this weekend.

“Alcohol abuse is one of the biggest risk factors in developing head and neck cancers and it’s responsible for approximately one third of the cases worldwide,” Dr. Hunter reports.

In fact, Van Halen’s alcohol addiction was reportedly so devastating to himself, his family and his way of life, that he self-voluntarily entered a rehabilitation center in 2007.

Just before his death, the rockstar claimed to have been sober since 2008 – but by that time, it seemed that the damage to his body had already been done.

The series also reveals that Eddie may have also been battling addiction to another destructive and highly addictive substance: cocaine.
