Alex Van Halen Unrecognizable: Living as Recluse in Sprawling Mansion

Alex Van Halen is unrecognizable and living as a complete recluse in his Hidden Hills, California mansion. Alex agreed to a rare interview and fans were shocked by the appearance of the former Van Halen drummer. During the interview Alex stated that he does not leave his house and spends most days watching old Van Halen films.

Alex Arthur Van Halen was born May 8, 1953 in Amsterdam, Netherlands to parents Daan and Roos. No one is really sure which name belongs to which parent. The Van Halen’s moved to The US in 1962 and settled in California. Little Alex wound up becoming arguably, the greatest drummer of all time. Alex spent 10 years in his room practicing and masturbating. When he emerged he was a master of his own destiny and the drums.

Alex and his brother Eddie formed Van Halen with frontman David Lee Roth and Bassist Michael Anthony. One of the greatest Hard Rock/Heavy Metal bands of the 70’s and 80’s, the band broke ground musically, sexually and chemically. (*Van Hagar made some good music but Sammy is not DLR). The band officially broke up following the tragic death of Eddie in 2020.

Alex stated that he spends most days with his cat Mr. Bigglesworth. The duo likes to sit in a darkened room alone watching old Van Halen concert films and videos on an old Bell & Howell 16mm projector. His manager and family try to coax him out with Spicy Cheetos and Sunny-D but nothing works.

Done

Fans were concerned that Alex was sick but he said that he is perfectly fine. “Yes, I am sick, sick of people’s crap” said Alex. “For 70 years I have put up with endless nonsense and I am done with it. I have plenty of money and everything I need right here. On nice days, Mr. Big and I take long walks and we really like to shoot guns. I have a target of David Lee Roth, Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar. Shooting at them targets makes me smile.”

“I get to wear pajamas and robes all day and bathing is optional. Do you know what it’s like to put up with lead singers, weasel record company executives and corrupt lying lawyers everyday? It’s not fun that’s for sure. For years I had to listen to David Lee Roth babble about nothing, Bo zee Bo zee Bop. Then when I thought I was clear, I had to listen to Hagar talk about Tequila all day. Well, it’s safe to say I deserved some peace and quiet. When I get tired of this life I am going to form a band with Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson from Rush. Then I will record and tour. They seem like quiet guys.”
