Guitarist extraordinaire, Eddie Van Halen, underwent surgery on his hand recently. When asked how he hurt the hand, Eddie mumbled something about “telling that bitch again…and again…and again…” Aww, just joking.
“During the last leg of our tour, I started developing pain in my thumb and my pinky. I didn’t think much of it at the time,” the guitarist says. “It got progressively worse to the point that about three months ago I wasn’t able to play at all. My pinky and my thumb were totally locked up and felt like there was something broken.”
Van Halen sought out specialists in Düsseldorf, Germany, who initially began treating the guitarist for arthritis, but soon discovered a bone spur, twisted tendon and a cyst in the joint of his left thumb.
Man, sounds rough, but I can TOTALLY relate. I’ve been recovering from a wrist injury I incurred from all of the dismissive, wanking motions that I’ve been doing over the new Pearl Jam single.
