Alex Van Halen is gearing up to promote his highly anticipated memoir, Brothers, set to be released on October 22. This book offers an intimate look into his profound relationship with his late brother, Eddie Van Halen, chronicling their shared experiences and musical journey.
To celebrate the launch, Alex will embark on a three-day book signing tour, starting in New York City on October 21, followed by a signing in Northvale, New Jersey, on October 22. He will also host a live event in Los Angeles on October 24, giving fans a chance to connect with him and delve deeper into the stories behind the book.
A standout feature of the memoir is the audio version, which includes the final song the brothers wrote together, titled “Unfinished.” This poignant track, set to release on the same day as the book, is a heartfelt testament to their enduring bond, as confirmed by HarperCollins. Alex himself narrates the audio version, adding a personal touch to the narrative.
Reflecting on their journey, Alex writes, “I was with him from day one. We shared everything: a record player, an 800-square-foot house, our parents, and a relentless work ethic.” He captures the essence of their lives together— from childhood struggles and the intoxicating highs of fame to the trials of alcoholism and the joy of fatherhood.
Brothers promises to be more than just a memoir; it’s a celebration of the Van Halen legacy, illuminating the deep connection that defined both their personal and professional lives. As fans eagerly await the release, Alex’s reflections offer a glimpse into the unique bond that shaped one of rock music’s most iconic partnerships.
