What began as a year of celebration is quickly turning sour for Van Halen.
Founder and resident guitar god Eddie Van Halen has checked into rehab, according to a statement on his namesake band's Website Thursday, just days before VH was due to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
"I have always and will always feel a responsibility to give you my best. At the moment I do not feel that I can give you my best," Van Halen wrote.
"That's why I have decided to enter a rehabilitation facility to work on myself, so that in the future I can deliver the 110 percent that I feel I owe you and want to give you."

E! Online Van Halen's move seems to confirm earlier speculation that his band's ballyhooed summer tour, featuring the return of David Lee Roth on vocals, was off.
