Alex Van Halen is set to promote his new memoir, ‘Brothers,’ with a three day book signing tour and live events. The book comes out on October 22 and covers his relationship with his late brother, Eddie Van Halen.
Alex will be signing books on October 21 in New York City and on October 22 in Northvale, New Jersey. He’ll also have a live event in Los Angeles on October 24.
The audio version of ‘Brothers’ includes the final song Alex and Eddie wrote together. The track is called ‘Unfinished’ and it will be released on October 22, the same day as ‘Brothers.’ The track will be included in the audio version of the memoir, which Alex narrated himself. HarperCollins confirmed that ‘Unfinished’ is ‘the last piece of music they wrote together’ before Eddie died in 2020.
“I was with him from day one,” Alex wrote of Eddie. “We shared the experience of coming to this country and figuring out how to fit in. We shared a record player, an 800-square-foot house, a mom and dad, and a work ethic. Later, we shared the back of a tour bus, alcoholism, the experience of becoming successful, of becoming fathers and uncles, and of spending more hours in the studio than I’ve spent doing anything else in this life. We shared a depth of understanding that most people can only hope to achieve in a lifetime.”
The book gives an in-depth look at the Van Halen brothers’ bond and their journey in music. Alex talks about their early days, struggles, successes, and the deep connection they shared throughout their lives.
