Alex Van Halen reunited with Mitch Malloy, who briefly worked with Van Halen as their singer in 1996, as seen in a new photo.
Mitch said, “I made him laugh. A bunch of times and we both nearly cried a bunch of times telling stories about Ed. And my daughter Eden pictured here and my wife Faith who took this recent picture got to hang with Alex Van Halen. I’m so excited for him HIS BOOK IS FINALLY OUT and I am proud for him. Here’s to you Alex for always the kind words the fun stories and the amazing memories. You are the true gentleman.”

Alex Van Halen recently spoke with journalist Tonya Mosley in a new interview with NPR and said: “We left a lot unfinished.”
Alex Van Halen opens up on the matter
Alex was the featured guest on NPR’s Fresh Air segment to discuss his book Brothers. He talked about what it was like with he and brother Edward growing up in Pasadena, how Edward found his voice as a guitar player, David Lee Roth’s contribution to Van Halen, Edward’s decision to contribute a guitar solo on Michael Jackson’s “Beat It”, and what could have been if Roth remained with the band.
“[Eddie’s collaboration with Michael Jackson] really was not the single thing [that broke up the band] because things were already starting to unravel,” said Alex.
“When we named the album 1984, it had nothing to do with the year. It had to do with George Orwell and the dystopia of what was going on. This band was so fractured, we barely ever played together anymore. And unfortunately, MTV became the predominant way of conveying all this. And Dave being the visible guy naturally opted for more visual stuff. I don’t blame him for any of it, but it’s just too bad [because] we were on the cusp of something really, really big…. Nobody fights better than friends.”
Brothers was be released on October 22nd and it’s written with New Yorker staff writer Ariel Levy and acknowledges the s*x and drugs and rock n’ roll. However, as the title indicates it’s primarily a chronicle of the drummer’s relationship with his guitar hero brother.
