GARY CHERONE:

Whether you were blessed to have known him or not, He was a kind and gentle soul… His impact on ALL our lives was immeasurable! His music, eternal! My deepest sympathies to the Van Halen family… Love you Ed #LongLiveTheKing!

— Gary Cherone (@garycherone) October 6, 2020

The news of Eddie’s passing was confirmed by his son Wolfgang through his Twitter page yesterday: “I can’t believe I’m having to write this, 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. My heart is broken and I don’t think I’ll ever fully recover from this loss. I love you so much, Pop.”

  • LarryLurex70 LarryLurex70 My question as well. Haven't ever owned a Hag-era VH album, and haven't heard that track since it was current decades ago. Wasn't listening to the vocals then, either.
