In this intimate and open account—nothing like any rock-and-roll memoir you’ve ever read—Alex Van Halen shares his personal story of family, friendship, music and brotherly love in a remarkable tribute to his beloved brother and band mate.
Told with acclaimed New Yorker writer Ariel Levy, Brothers is seventy-year-old drummer Alex Van Halen’s love letter to his younger brother, Edward, (Maybe “Ed,” but never “Eddie”), written while still mourning his untimely death.
“This is my tribute to my brother; my way of saying goodbye. Ed, I love you and miss you. When I see you again, I’m gonna kick your ass!”
- Alex Van Halen
Published by Harper Collins with a release date of October 22, 2024, Brothers is 240 pages and is available in three formats: Standard Hardcover, Deluxe Autographed Hardcover, and an audio book narrated by Alex himself.*
Brothers includes never-before-seen photos from Alex’s private archives.
*Added Bonus: the audio book contains an unreleased song composed by Edward and Alex. Titled “Unfinished,” it is the last piece of music they wrote together and can be heard as Alex narrates his story.
**Deluxe edition not available for purchase.
