UPDATE #2, from Paraquat: Paraquat tells the Van Halen News Desk, “Thanks to my brothers Eddie and Alex for stopping bye for a hang with Paraquat Kelley today to support Melody Rogers and me for the upcoming Mighty Met Acoustic Flashback on Dec 14 @ the Canyon Club in Augora Whoo Ya!”

Here’s photos and video (from TODAY!) of Eddie and Alex Van Halen visiting their friend, Paraquat Kelley. Pat Kelley is a legendary KMET personality who is fighting Multiple Sclerosis. The Van Halen brothers donated the signed guitar shown in these photos.

Paraquat will be honored at The Mighty Met Acoustic Flashback Honoring Paraquat Kelley December 14 with special guest George Thorogood. (Here’s it’s website & Facebook).

KMET wrote, “TODAY, THIS HAPPENED. Eddie and Alex spent the afternoon with Paraquat Kelley. What an awesome awesome gift. God love these two.”
