Legendary guitaristEddie Van Halen has diedfrom throat cancer (viaPeople).
He was only 65 years old.
The sad news was revealed by Van Halen’s son, Wolfgang onInstagram.
“He was the best father I could ever ask for.
“My heart is broken and I don’t think I’ll ever fully recover from this loss.
I love you so much, Pop.”
Clearly Van Halen’s only son was very close with his father, judging from this post alone.
“I’m going to let Wolfgang be whatever he wants to be.
Vhndreports Wolfgang was named after the famous composer of the same name, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
And Van Halen’sfamous song “316"commemorates his birthday, March 16.
Wolfgang claimed he had no idea he had famous parents at first.
“He told me, ‘You were working at this age, too.’
There probably wasn’t much Bertinelli could do to stop Wolfgang from performing on stage with his dad.
He then picked up guitar two years later.
He appeared on several episodes of her cooking show,Valerie’s Home Cooking.
The moment I became his mother, I felt right in the world…
He’s just a very special human being, and I love him dearly” (viaCheat Sheet).
Her Instagram handle is evenWolfie’s Mom.
There’s no doubt she is supporting her son as he mourns the loss of his dad.
Another support Wolfgang has is his girlfriend, Andraia Allsop (viaGlamour Fame).
But other than that, she keeps a pretty low profile.
