Rock God – you’re gonna’ hear that a lot – Eddie Van Halen has died after a long bout with cancer.
“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,’’ the musician’s son, Wolfgang, who is the band Van Halen’s bassist, said on Instagram.
“He was the best father I could ever ask for,” the 29-year-old son said. “I love you so much, Pop.”
Van Halen passed away at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, Calif. — surrounded by his son, wife Janie, ex-wife Valerie Bertinelli and brother Alex, who is the drummer in the band, TMZ reported.
He was 65-years old.
