- Summary
- The life of the late groundbreaking musician is recalled through over fifty hours of interviews and delves both into his musical legacy as well as his lifelong issues with social anxiety and substance abuse.
- When rock legend Eddie Van Halen died of cancer on October 6, 2020, most of his compelling backstory remained elusive. Tolinski and Gill provide a candid, definitive oral history based on more than fifty hours of unreleased interviews they recorded with Van Halen over the years. In them, he discusses his greatest triumphs as a groundbreaking musician, as well as his early struggles as a Dutch immigrant unable to speak the English language, which resulted in lifelong issues with social anxiety and substance abuse. The authors also examine Van Halen's influence as an inventor in guitar manufacturing. -- adapted from jacket
