Alex Van Halen

Singer recounts taking advantage of drummer's physical presence when concert promoters came up short.

The drummer shared a tribute to his brother on his birthday.

"In the old days you’d get a dollar a record, and now you get 50 cents for 275,000 streams. It’s insane. It’s wrong."

Dad’s death in 1986 made him face “responsibility” of avoiding “artificial inspiration.”

Drummer insists only he and Eddie knew the true inner workings of Van Halen.

Bassist briefly called up his ex-bandmate but also wanted to respect his privacy.

Drummer breaks silence with brief message.
