According to De Telegraf, Alex Van Halen is working on new Van Halen music featuring leftover material from the late great Eddie Van Halen. Notably, Toto guitarist Steve Lukather is reportedly involved in the sessions as well.
The article said the following [translated from Dutch]:
“After Eddie Van Halen’s death, there was already a lot of speculation about songs that were still on the shelf. It was common knowledge that the guitarist and his brother often worked for months in Eddie’s 5150 studio in Hollywood to record songs. Alex van Halen indicates that he consciously chose Lukather. ‘Ed and Steve Lukather were very good friends and they often worked together. There is no one who can do this process with me as well as he can.’
Lukather was confronted with this news by the Telegraaf himself when he gave a concert with his band Toto in the Gelredome in Arnhem two weeks ago. ‘Did Alex say that? Oh, in that case the news is true. Ed, Alex and I were very close for years. It is true that we worked on it together.’”
