A forthcoming photobook focusing solely on late rock guitarist Eddie Van Halen from veteran photographer Ross Halfin will arrive in June via Rufus Publications.
Announced last week, the 356-page photo book will be simply titled, Edward Van Halen, which will include numerous never-before-shared photographs pulled from Halfin’s personal archives. The book will also include a forward written by Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi, in addition to an accompanying essay from journalist Mark Blake.
A statement shared by Halfin with the book’s announcement reads,
I started shooting Van Halen in 1978 when they were just a support band for Black Sabbath. This book delves deep into my archive covering the early tours with Roth in the late ’70s onto the commercial explosion of the early to mid 80’s on through the vastly successful ‘Van Hagar’ era covering every album and tour and even the Gary Cherone fronted VH III era. I always enjoyed shooting Van Halen, from a photographers perspective they always gave you something and the many studio shoots always generated a lot of laughter and good memories.
