Alex Van Halen is preparing a new album, memoir, and anthology to honor Eddie’s legacy.

Alex Van Halen is currently in the process of working on a new album in collaboration with Toto guitarist Steve Lukather. Additionally, he is preparing a Van Halen anthology book to honor the legacy of his late brother, Eddie Van Halen, who passed away in 2020.

The album will feature recordings of Eddie Van Halen’s music that he wrote and performed before his passing. Alex Van Halen’s collaboration with Lukather marks his return to the music scene following the loss of his brother. In addition to the album, Alex is also working on an anthology book that follows his 2024 memoir, “Brothers,” which delves into the story of the two siblings and their unbreakable bond.

On what would have been Eddie Van Halen’s 71st birthday, Alex Van Halen took to social media to share a heartwarming home video of his brother playing the guitar as a young boy. The video, though silent, captures the essence of a young Eddie with an acoustic guitar in hand, as well as a brief glimpse of a young Alex smiling for the camera. Alongside the video, a message from Eddie honoring his brother and father’s impact on the music world was shared by Wolfgang Van Halen, alongside three red heart emojis. Valerie Bertinelli, Wolfgang’s mother, left a single white heart in the comments section, showcasing the love and admiration for the Van Halen legacy.

Since Eddie’s passing, Alex Van Halen has been dedicated to preserving and sharing their story through various projects. “Brothers” provided insight into the deep connection between the two brothers, serving as Alex’s first major project following Eddie’s death. While there is no specific release date set for the album with Steve Lukather or the anthology book, fans can anticipate both projects to be released sometime this year.

Alex Van Halen’s commitment to honoring his late brother’s legacy through music and storytelling continues to resonate with fans worldwide. His latest projects serve as a tribute to Eddie Van Halen’s impact on the music industry and their enduring sibling bond. The forthcoming album and anthology book are highly anticipated by fans eager to celebrate the lasting influence of the Van Halen brothers.
