Eddie Van Halen took 1,000 steroid pills before death, ‘If two’s good, 20's better’: brother

Eddie Van Halen once took an entire bottle of steroid pills he received from a doctor after brain surgery to remove a tumor, his brother says.

"There is a part of me that’s common sense. If this is going to f--- me up, why would I do that? … Common sense was not Ed’s strong point."

One day, Alex said, he realized Eddie had taken an entire bottle of pills because they made him "feel like Superman."

"I didn’t see the bottle, but the bottle had, like, a thousand pills in it," he added. "If two’s good, 20's better. That was our mantra."
