When I told my husband he slumped a little. He's a guitar player. Van Halen was so much a part of my young years. R.I.P. in guitar heaven.

Felt like my heart just sank into my chest when I read this. The Eternal Band just gained one kick-a** lead guitarist.

I didn't even know he was sick. 65 is so young.

He was so talented.

I remember hearing about 20 years ago that he had cancer in his tongue & had part of it removed.

Not just you. We just must be in that generation now. Sorry to hear about Eddie Van Halen. Didn't realize he battled that for a long time. 65...too young.
