In an unexpected turn of events, reports from the Netherlands suggest that Alex Van Halen is working on a brand-new Van Halen album, and he's enlisted Steve Lukather to help complete the project!

For years, speculation surrounded the Van Halen name—whether it was the abandoned tribute tour featuring Jason Newsted and Joe Satriani or Sammy Hagar’s Best of All Worlds Tour keeping the music alive. But now, it looks like a 13th Van Halen studio album is actually happening!

Alex Van Halen has confirmed that he’s working with Lukather, stating, “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 responded, “Ed, Alex, and I were very close for years. It is true that we worked on it together.”

Lukather’s connection to the Van Halen brothers runs deep—from jamming together to Eddie playing bass on Lukather’s solo album and even collaborating on Michael Jackson’s Beat It! But the big question remains:

💥 What will this new Van Halen album sound like?

💥 Who else will be involved? Will any former Van Halen vocalists join the project?

💥 Alex even explored AI to complete unfinished Van Halen demos! Could this album feature unheard Eddie Van Halen recordings?

There’s still a lot we don’t know, but one thing is certain—Van Halen’s legacy is far from over. Stay tuned for updates!

On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen, we dive into some epic discoveries and unfortunate losses in the Van Halen world!

First up, we take a look at the legendary Frank Sinatra: L.A. Is My Lady music video from 1984, which features none other than David Lee Roth and Edward Van Halen making a cameo appearance! This classic video has been around for years, but just four months ago, it was uploaded in a much cleaner version to the official Frank Sinatra YouTube channel. You’ve gotta check it out!

Next, we cover the fan-made video sensation Van Halen Goes to the Movies! This creative mashup blends Back to the Future, Star Wars, and Marvel Studios into one incredible tribute. It’s an absolute must-see for any Van Halen fan.

Unfortunately, not all the news is good. The unearthed Van Halen Capital Center 1982 video and those iconic behind-the-scenes clips from 1978, the making of Hot for Teacher, and the Panama music video making-of have all been taken down. Some channels are trying to re-upload this content, but how long it will last is anyone’s guess.

Sebastian Bach, known for his time in Skid Row, recently posted about his longtime friend and musical hero David Lee Roth. He played a secret show with Roth, calling him a "true rock and roll icon."
