RIP Eddie van Halen

EDDIE VAN HALEN dead at 65.

Eddie Van Halen has passed away after a long battle with cancer. His death was confirmed by his son and VAN HALEN bassist Wolfgang Van Halen: ,,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.. Every moment I’ve shared with him on and off stage was a gift. He was the best father I could ever ask for. My heart is broken and I don’t think I’ll ever recover from this loss!”

Treatment
There have been a lot of rumors regarding Eddie his health. For example TMZ reported that Van Halen has been traveling between the U.S. and Germany for cancer treatment going on several years now. The site later said that “the sad medical news had some folks thinking Eddie was on his death bed, but we’re told that’s anything but the case.”
According to David Lee Roth there were no plans for VAN HALEN to do anything for the future. ,,I think VAN HALEN has finished and this is the next phase”, said David referring to his solo project. ,,Eddie’s got his own story to tell. I’ts not mine to tell it.” Eddie stopped by a McLaren dealership in Beverly Hills and mingled with the sales team, taking pictures and even giving one fan a kiss. A few days later, he was photographed at a spinal neurosurgeon’s office in Beverly Hills.

Early last year, rumors were rampant that the classic-era lineup of VAN HALEN would reunite for the first time since 1984. It’s unclear why the tour didn’t happen. Well there has been online chatter that a health setback involving Eddie Van Halen might have been responsible. But is that true? We don’t know. Last November, TMZ reported that Eddie spent several days in a hospital due to complications from his cancer treatment. Sources close to the legendary guitarist told the site he was admitted to the hospital with intestinal issues and abdominal pain, both the result of a bad reaction to the drugs.Eddie was reportedly taking to battle throat cancer. Unfortunately he lost the fight. The world lost a guitarlegend.
