‘Brothers’ Will Feature Alex and Eddie Van Halen’s Final Song

Van Halen fans have incentive to pick up the audio version of Brothers, as it contains the final song Alex and Eddie Van Halen ever wrote together, titled “Unfinished.” Alex teased the song on Instagram last week.

Brothers also promises a definitive account of the Van Halen brothers’ relationship and musical achievements. “I was with him from day one,” Alex writes of Eddie. “We shared the experience of coming to this country and figuring out how to fit in. We shared a record player, an 800-square-foot house, a mom and dad, and a work ethic. Later, we shared the back of a tour bus, alcoholism, the experience of becoming successful, of becoming fathers and uncles, and of spending more hours in the studio than I’ve spent doing anything else in this life. We shared a depth of understanding that most people can only hope to achieve in a lifetime.”
