They already had one attempt at it and it fell apart - I think Roth and Eddie have a bit of a Gillan-Blackmore thing about them.
Eddie has even more than drugs and booze to worry over. He fell victim to mouth cancer (been a smoker since he was a young lad) - of the tongue and has been through the mill as you can imagine, on top of his alcoholism!
I understand that even after his operation for cancer he still continued to smoke!
it appears though that he is on the mend
