A Tribute to Edward Van Halen

by VHND — updated October 6, 2021 Leave a Comment

One year ago today, our favorite musician passed away due to cancer. The Great Edward Van Halen.

Van Halen News Desk reader Dave King reached out this week with the following message:

“To recognize the one year of Eddie’s passing I made this video. I started out making the video just to show my 11 and 14-year-old kids how special Eddie was, as they never were able to see him in concert. They knew that I have been a huge Van Halen fan but didn’t really understand why.  So I wanted to show them.  Once I got going on it, I keep going through different footage and kept finding bits and pieces of different things that just made the piece better and better. I think it turned into something that a lot of people would enjoy. I want to share it with everyone at VHND.”

Watch the video above. It’s a fitting tribute that’ll blow you away.

More tributes are to come later today at VHND.

  • Malone Malone I didn't care for it... Sammy's old solo stuff was more to my liking. Gimme Plain Jane, This Planet's on Fire or Child to Man. Pretty much all of Standing Hampton too
