You'd appear to be right!
"Guitar legend Eddie Van Halen is reported to be near death today following complications related to a degenerative aging disorder. Doctors say the rocker, who's recently battled cancer [SPIN: of the mouth, due to years of heavy drinking and smoking], alcoholism, and hip replacement, "has the body of a man at least twice his age."
Not sure how up to date "near death today" is.
EDIT: "body twice his age" is dubious too, since EVH was born in 1955. True, he's hardly at the peak of physical fitness, but according to 2006 photos like these he doesn't look like he's 100 to me. But he could pass for 60. That's fairly typical I say. If you smoke and drink yourself into oblivion throughout your youth, you're looking at having the body of a 60 year old when you're 50. |
