Rocker Van Halen's house flooded

A broken water main sent thousands of gallons of water flowing into rock star Eddie Van Halen’s Los Angeles garden.

The musician arrived in Studio City after performing a show in Edmonton, Canada, to find his home damaged.

“It could have been a lot worse,” said Janie Liszewski, Van Halen’s publicist and live-in girlfriend.

“The pool is buried in mud, the driveway gate is down and some major landscaping is going to be needed to restore the yard to its former self.”
