So we all know that Eddie Van Halen has/had cancer and he is recently divorced (or separated) from his wife, Valerie. Apparently he has been drinking a lot and not taking the best care himself but why do so many people criticize him, his appearance and what he does? He is a human being who just happens to be dealing with a ton of issues and knowing a person who is dealing with or lost their life to cancer - I get sick of radio DJ's and thousands of other cancer-free people make light of what he is going through. I believe he needs counselling and will make it through this and hopefully make a good spokesperson about surviving cancer.

Truly a shining star! Rock on!
The Oral Cancer Foundation applauds Eddie's decision to talk about his cancer. It is only through public awareness, and knowledge of the risk factors, that this disease can be brought down from its high ranking as a killer. When someone of Eddie's celebrity talks openly, his voice will be heard by his millions of fans. Besides being one of rocks elite guitar greats, this makes him an extraordinary individual in a much broader sense.

As long as someone is in the spotlight, the media will always pick on them.
Also, he was on an interview with Howard Stern a couple of weeks ago and kind of bashed Jimi Hendrix, that wasn't cool!
