Sorry Japan, you’re gonna have to wait for Van Halen … the band is postponing their Japanese concert tour because Eddie Van Halen just underwent emergency surgery on his intestine.
Van Halen just released a statement … saying, “Eddie underwent an emergency surgery for a severe bout of Diverticulitis. No further surgeries are needed and a full recovery is expected within 4 – 6 months.”
According to WebMD, Diverticulitis is essentially when pouches form in the wall of the colon and become inflamed … very, very painful stuff.
It’s unclear how long 57-year-old Eddie has been suffering from the condition or when he went under the knife.
Van Halen says the band is calling off the November tour of Japan … and will reschedule for some time in 2013.
