Eddie Van Halen Now Has Throat Cancer

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Has this been public knowledge before now? First I've heard of it.

I was not aware that he was dating Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Pay attention, R2!

He got it from sucking PICK.

Are these his SAD, FINAL DAYS?

I blame Valerie Bertinelli.

This was public knowledge I think. Everyone knew he had tongue cancer, it was known when he had part of his tongue removed.

Why would a metal pick cause cancer?

What’s his guitar pick made of, tobacco?

I’m sure his throat cancer had nothing to do with his lifelong smoking habit.

And not, say, the truckloads of cigs and drugs?

Cunnilingus was never the same after 2000. I'm surprised I hung in for seven more years.

Most oral and pharyngeal cancers are caused by HPV.

He was a smoker for a very long time.

I am preparing my final farewell words. I feel the end is near.

I saw him in concert. He was such a cutie.

With all the rock stars who’ve died between their 20s and 60s - seemingly for ever, that profession seems to be right up there with coal miner and bomb diffuser for longevity.

[quote]But he has been going to Germany for treatment over the last five years

I wouldn’t waste my time with that if I were him...

How does sucking on a guitar pick, metal or otherwise, cause tongue and then throat cancer?

R17 I think Michael Douglas was sucking on guitar picks, too. It definitely was not me.

Did he buy his picks from s store in Chernobil?

WTF?

"Metal Guitar Pick".... such an unusual nickname for Valerie's massive clitoris.

This all Valerie Bertinelli's fault.

Damnit Barbara, quit giving your ex-husband cancer.

There have been rumors online for a while that he is very sick.

God, please bless Eddie!!

Didn't David Lee Roth recently say that a reunion will absolutely never happen? I instantly thought of Eddie's ongoing health issues. Sad last days....

Yes, that's what he said.

[quote] going to Germany for treatment over the last five years

Germany seems to be a hotbed of cutting-edge (or not in Farrah Fawcett’s case) cancer treatments.

R28 There was another celebrity who died within the last year or two that had cancer and went to Germany for treatment and they ended up dying too. So I don’t know why these celebrities think Germany is the place to go for cancer. They would probably have better luck at the hospitals in France or Switzerland which are supposed to be really good.

R29 Farrah died the same day Michael Jackson croaked.

What does that have to do with anything in R29's post, R30?

R31 Thank you. Exactly what I was going to say.

R30 I just felt like I needed to let people know. So, I apologize for my stupidity.

He smoked like a chimney for at least 30 years. That had NOTHING to do with his throat cancer?

well, if he was monitoring it for 5 fucking years, how come they didn't catch it? it has progressed all the way to his throat!

I remember Larry Mullen of U2 also went to Germany decades ago for some kind of treatment, I don't remember what it was but it was mentioned in many books. He looks the best of the group.

But Germany isn't bad medically. A mother was trying to save his son from on coming bus, was hit instead and was in coma for 20 years. She was sent to UK but they couldn't do anything for her, a rich saudi sheik or prince heard about this story and was very touched, sent the mother to Germany for treatment. She is now awake and can talk, she's in a wheelchair....not 100% recovered but she can see her son again.

I thought I would also add that Ed McMahon died on the same day as Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett.

what a dumb shit, he vapes still....unreal

R40 He vapes to quit smoking. He's not dying, but he has been undergoing treatments for about 12 months now. The word I hear from the camp is "Death is out of the question", but he does need time to recuperate from the chemo that has cause his face to swell up.

With cancer, death is never out of the question.

Guitar picks made from uranium should be outlawed.

I don't believe it's the guitar picks! What a fucking lame excuse!

It's probably from kissing all the groupies/whores! Who knows where those whores mouths have been, HPV, herpes etc...

I'm assuming he didn't eat their pussies...I mean that's just fucking gross!

oh yea bitch, u suk them vapes with their hot metal coils and plastics and god knows whut else....

I GOTTA SMOKES.....I GOTTA SMOKES.....I CAINT GO ON LESSEN I SMOKES....

wtf a weak culture this is, no wonder trumpy is king

R6 his tongue cancer has nothing to do with his throat cancer. 2 different cancers.

I wonder if these people who go to Germany for cancer treatments wait until the treatment centers in American have nothing left to offer them and they end up waiting too late for even German treatments to do any good.

"I vape to quit smoking" is the most asinine statement of the past 5 years.

I guess vaping is fine if someone is vaping something that doesn't contain nicotine. Do they make such a substance?

I would think if someone really wanted to quit smoking and reduce the chance of throat cancer they'd use the nicotine patch treatment.

was he a heavy drinker too?

But having is now bad for you.

Is John "Cougar" Mellencamp paying attention or is he too busy trying to keep his sons out of prison?

It's the tar in cigarettes that cause disease, vaping doesn't have tar.

Time for The More You Know, Folks

Vaping is not "fine" even though if it doesn't contain tar or nicotine. It still contains of host of other untested substances that have already shown to cause short-term health problems and no studies on any potential long-term problems

[quote]doctors believe he contracted after years of sucking on his metal guitar pick'

So much for stainless steel straws.

r54 nobody asked you to be the resident finger-wagging scold.

Wow, so enlightening! Somehow I'd missed the studies in JAMA and the New England Journal of Medicine about how sucking on stainless steel gives you cancer.

It's no wonder we all die before the age of 120. Consider how many of us use deadly, carcinogenic stainless steel cookware and utensils!

Who the fuck sucks on their guitar pick? Most guitarists palm it or put it in a pocket or pick holder if they're not using it at the moment. Plus, a dripping wet, spit-covered pick is just gonna slip right out of your fingers and make your strings gross and slippery.

Typical addict. Won't blame his heavy, heavy smoking and drinking (both powerful carcinogens). Blames his guitar pick, for fuck's sake.

Addicts blame anything and anyone but themselves, always.

Does he also have his cell phone attached to his head with a bandana?

That can cause a brain tumor, Eddie.

I'm confused ........ Should I be developing [italic] PICKAPHOBIA or DICKAPHOBIA ?

Eddie Van Halen was kind of cute when he was young, cute not handsome. But whatever looks he had were eclipsed by David Lee Roth’s frontman act. Dave still looks fit because he’s a lifelong martial arts practitioner. Eddie just looks old. I’m surprised Eddie aged so badly, given that he’s half Asian.

[quote]I thought I would also add that Ed McMahon died on the same day as Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett.

That's sweet of you, R37, but Ed died two days earlier.

Eating filthy groupie pussies causes throat cancer NOT guitar picks.

Anyone who would choose vaping as a way to stop smoking is clearly a moron.

[quote] The solution in e-cigarette devices and vapor contains harmful chemicals like antifreeze (made from one of two chemicals: propylene glycol or ethylene glycol), diethylene glycol, and carcinogens like nitrosamines which can cause cancer. The nicotine in e-cigarettes is addictive and can harm brain development.

Dammit Barbara! Your pussy gave him cancer!

The pic is not the opinion of the physician, it is HIS (Eddie's) opinion. The physician merely said "possible", which can be translated to "You are an idiot. But, a rich idiot that is famous so sure...why not".

There’s already been a thread on this!! Several times over. Would it have killed you OP to have just done a search before hand?? I mean seriously??

Valerie Bertinelli needs to make him a love cake.
