RIP -- Eddie Van Halen - Page 4

It was shocking to hear Eddie passed as I did not know he was ill.

I loved his music!

"If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band"

"My desire to be well informed is currently at odds with my desire to remain sane."

He also had tongue cancer in 2000 ... ewww - part of his tongue was removed.

He was a warrior for sure.

On Fox this morning-There was a partial letter written by Valerie Bertinelli. I missed the first part but she was talking to him and ended by saying, "I will be seeing you in the next life, my love." Tear jerker for sure!

Here's Valerie's post:

Wolfgang's mother, Valerie Bertinelli, shared a photograph of the three of them together shortly after his birth with a beautiful tribute to her ex-husband.

"40 years ago my life changed forever when I met you," she wrote. "You gave me the one true light in my life, our son, Wolfgang."

"Through all your challenging treatments for lung cancer, you kept your gorgeous spirit and that impish grin," she continued. "I’m so grateful Wolfie and I were able to hold you in your last moments. I will see you in our next life my love."

The greatest guitar solo. Ever.

I used to listen to Van Halen when I was a teenager and still enjoy the group on Pandora.

His son's tribute was beautiful. Glad they had such a special relationship.

@sktchy I just heard that about the tongue cancer. What a brave guy he was. The news of his death saddens me. 😢

I always thought he was cute too.
