I saw that yesterday...The past sometimes catches up to us Alcoholic/Addicts.  They say he got sober in 2008, I hope he died that way!

They said that he had a long bout with cancer. Impossible to say if chemicals had do something about it, if it's just bad genetics, or a little of both.

Usually, but I think it was lung cancer?  We love a cig when we are guzzling that Whiskey.  I know I am making generalizations!  I dis seeing them play in 1983 with David, and 1992 with Sammy, and I enjoyed his guitar licks!

I thought he had throat and tongue cancer and the throat cancer metastasized in the last few months.

So in January we lost Neil Peart and now E VH, but Keith Richards is still rolling along.
I guess you just never know.

A list of stars that is so sad to read, but thanks for sharing BBL.  As I read through the list I had instant memories for almost each of them and how they helped shape my sports/ music insight and knowledge.  Even though he was not an athlete by trade, I kinda put Mac Davis in my sports mind.  Yeah, I loved "North Dallas Forty".

I have an embarrassing confession to make, I'm 84 years young and have never heard of Eddie VanHalen.

Heavy smoker Eddie Van Halen blamed his tongue cancer on the fact that he used to hold his brass and copper guitar picks in his mouth.
