Eddie Van Halen Handwritten Tour Note REAL COA

Eddie Van Halen handwrote this note on Hyatt Hotel notepaper to his publicist Steven Mandel, circa 1982-84 while Van Halen was on tour.

Throughout his career Mandel worked for the The Press Office, Rogers & Cowan, record companies and directly for bands and artists including Van Halen, David Lee Roth, David Bowie, Wham, George Michael, the Beasties Boys, Pink Floyd and many more. Handwritten in blue ballpoint pen. Measures approximately 4 x 5.5. Very good condition.
