A little over a year ago, Alex Valen told an interviewer there were "three or four" more albums worth of material from his brother Eddie and him that had never been released, and it looks like some may be coming to light very soon, with the help of Eddie's good friend, musician-producer Steve Lukather of Toto. Alex says guitarist Lukather was a long time close friend of Eddie's, and he's collaborated with Lukather before, not with Steve the guitarist, but Steve the producer. Lukather actually says he would never ever attempt to play Eddie's parts on any project, because he respects Eddie too much, and also because they play guitar so differently from each other. Here's more on this project coming together right now: https://ultimateclassicrock.com/alex-van-halen-steve-lukather-album/
