**Alex Van Halen shares his personal story of family, friendship, music and brotherly love.**
**Alex Van Halen** is the co-founder of the rock band Van Halen and its original drummer. Born in Amsterdam and trained as a classical pianist, he graduated from Pasadena High School.
**Ariel Levy** was Alex Van Halen’s collaborator on Brothers, and is the author of her own New York Times bestselling memoir The Rules Do Not Apply. Levy has received a National Magazine Award for her work at The New Yorker, where she has been a staff writer since 2008. She is the host and co-creator of the podcast The Just Enough Family.
Alex Van Halen wrote Brothers, a love letter to his younger brother, while still mourning Eddie‘s untimely death.
He recounts their childhood in an 800-square foot house in Pasadena, with an itinerant musician father and proper Indonesian-born mother—how they arrived in the US from the Netherlands and struggled to fit in. He also shares stories of musical politics, infighting and bad-boy behavior. The book includes never-before-seen photos from the author’s private archives, as he sets the record straight on his brother’s life and death in the first-ever accurate account of his family and the band.
