LOS ANGELES (AP) - Guitarist Eddie Van Halen has checked into rehab.
He has posted a statement on the Van Halen band Web site saying he has always felt a responsibility to fans to give them his best, and at the moment he cannot do that. He says he's decided to enter a rehabilitation facility to work on himself.
He does not say for what he will be treated, nor which facility he's chosen.
Van Halen had announced plans to tour this year, which have since faltered. Van Halen says some of the issues surrounding the tour are within his ability to change, and some are not. He says his rehab will help him change for the better.
The band Van Halen will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Monday in a ceremony in New York. Van Halen's attendance at the event was cause of much speculation.
