3 PM ET: Arrest made in CEO murder case, China probes Nvidia, another word of the year & more

In this intimate and open account, Alex Van Halen shares his personal story of family, friendship, music, and brotherly love. The book recounts the brothers’ childhood in the Netherlands and later in Pasadena, California, their early days as musicians, and the rise of Van Halen to rock stardom. It includes tales of musical politics, infighting, and the bad-boy behavior of the band, but primarily focuses on the deep bond between Alex and his brother Edward. The memoir is filled with delightful details and personal anecdotes, including never-before-seen photos from the author’s private archives. It stops at the point of David Lee Roth’s departure from the band in 1984 and does not cover the later years of Van Halen’s career.
