Alex Van Halen Confirms Posthumous Van Halen Album in the Works

The project draws on Eddie Van Halen's unfinished sessions for a planned album, with vocals still to be cast.

Overview

  • Alex Van Halen said the material comes from sessions intended to be the next Van Halen record that halted after Eddie's death.
  • Drums, guitar and bass are already recorded, with Wolfgang Van Halen confirmed as the bassist on the tracks.
  • Steve Lukather is collaborating on completing the album and, according to new reporting, will not add any guitar parts.
  • The team is searching for a singer after Paul Rodgers declined; Alex called Robert Plant an ideal fit but noted his current touring schedule.
  • No release timeline has been set, and Alex emphasized the music will not be issued in embryonic form and must meet the band’s quality standards.
