The ill-fated Van Halen reunion tour now has some explanation behind it. Eddie Van Halen issued a statement to TMZ.com saying he is looking to "clean up his act." So, first Lindsay Lohan, then Britney Spears and now Eddie. Who's next on the rehab bus?

It also appears that Eddie will not be joining his band mates at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. That now clears the way, as I predicted before for David Lee Roth and/or Sammy Hagar to possibly perform with Velvet Revolver who are reported to be doing a tribute to the band. Eddie's absence will also likely take some tension out of the air.

Seriously, good luck to Ed. Who knows maybe some drying out will clear his mind a bit and clear the way for a reunion tour later this year?
