Eddie Van Halen Dead at 65

Eddie Van Halen Dead at 65

Major bummer, my formative years in the 70’s would not have been the same without Van Halen.

His death was announced by his son, Wolf Van Halen, on Twitter.

“I can’t believe I’m having to write this,” the statement said, “but my father, Edward Lodewijk Van Halen, has lost his long and arduous battle with cancer this morning. He was the best father I could ever ask for. Every moment I’ve shared with him on and off stage was a gift.”

Awesome

Awesome

If you grew up in the seventies as I did this was a staple of your 8-track collection, still going after all these years. I don’t know how many 50 somethings are in the audience, just goes to show how timeless music can be. H/T Ace for the clip
