Eddie Van Halen Up To Old Tricks?

I recently got an email report from a good friend of mine in Florida who went to see Van Halen in concert. Even though Eddie is his idol and he is a shredder himself, he said he was surprised at the sloppy playing thoughout the concert. I went to the 3rd show on the tour way back in the fall and he was on his game then. I took "Still In Rio"'s opinion to heart as he would know better than anyone how the playing was. He's seen Eddie live numerous times and has been playing his riffs since he was in Jr. High. I was kind of hoping maybe it was a one-time bad performance, but then I read this. Wow. I have another good friend who has tickets in March to see them in Hershey. He is going to be pissed if they cancel.

Shows are now in "postponed" status. The only official word is: "According to Eddie Van Halen's physician, he is undergoing a battery of comprehensive medical tests to determine a defined diagnosis and recommended medical procedures," according to a statement released Monday by Van Halen's representative and the tour promoter, Live Nation.
