Alex and Eddie Van Halen Ink New Publishing Deal

. (hennemusic) The Van Halen brothers, Alex and Eddie, have signed a worldwide publishing deal with Atlas Music Publishing. The agreement covers the entire Van Halen catalog - excluding 2012's "A Different Kind Of Truth" - and includes multiple hit singles and albums that have collectively sold close to 90 million copies worldwide, making the group one of the best-selling musical artists in history.

The landmark deal with Atlas marks the first time Van Halen's music has been published by an independent music publishing company. "This deal has been a long time coming," Atlas Music Group CEO Richard Stumpf tells Billboard.

"I have been after [manager] Irving Azoff and [lawyer] Peter Paterno for five years to find out if there would ever be an opportunity to work with the Van Halen catalog. They are my favorite all-time band so this is kind of a surreal moment where my professional and personal lives are coming together."

"We will give their music the proper push for synchronizations in films, TV and commercials," says Stumpf. "This is a premium catalog, so we will look for the right films and brand advertisers to place their music with." Read more here.
