Description
Heard on a tweet that Eddie's son said his father passed away today of cancer. He was 65.
I saw Van Halen twice in my concert days. Once in California at a event called the us festival in 1982 and I took this photo of him at McNichols Arena back about 1984.
He was one of the top 4 best guitarist ever! his jamming will be very missed.
RIP Eddie.

This is very sad and quite alarming that God has called so many great performers and musicians home just this year alone.
It is sad to see this generation of great artist dropping out into the starlight. He will be missed.
A wonderful tribute!
Just saw this on CNN.... Damn.... Another legend leaves us.... There must be one hell of a concert going on in Heaven... Leaving us down here with nothing but obnoxious rap crap...
Awesome tribute to a legend, Steve!

This year is turning out to just as bad as 2016 in regards to losing great talent. A fantastic tribute for a fantastic guitarist!
This is so young to die! A great performer to be remembered! A photo that shows his strong concentration and vitality!
nice capture.
R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen
One of the Best guitarists Ever!
RIP
So young! So sad. You took a great picture!
Awesome tribute to an awesome musician.....I was a Van Halen fan. Makes me think of an old song that I like.....'Rock and Roll Heaven'....'If you believe in forever, and that life is not a one night stand....and there's a rock and roll heaven....and they've got one 'hell' of a band'. Nice work, Steve
How sad is that. I'm very bummed. He left a great legacy behind. He'll be sorely missed.
Such a sadness LOVED Van Halen and I still get HAPPY when I listen to Jump RIP
Yet another of the great muscians lost to us. Great photo.
A great artist who no longer exists is truly sad 😞🙏
Music is just a little sadder now.
RIP, Eddie.
Oh, nooo! That‘s really tragic! More and more Music Legends die and today there are no new really good musicians here, who could take the place of those who made my generations music. I completely agree with Rods statement… R.I.P. Eddie!
You're absolutely right; he will be missed. Great tribute!
