Eddie Van Halen is suffering from a bout of Diverticulitis, a severely painful inflamation caused by pockets or leisions of the colon. The guitarist underwent emergency surgery Wednesday (8/29) to adress the problem. He will be sidelined long enough to force the band to reschedule November dates in Japan. Full recovery can take four to 6 months, a time frame that could have the guitarist ready to take the field at the New Orleans Superdome if rumors that Van Halen will provide Super Bowl halftime entertainment prove true.
