    Been “holdin’ up a lighter” since the very first Eddie Van show I ever saw. The flame might have gone out but the Music will always shine. RIP Man, way too soon. :(

    Still a little stuned by the news. Just watch his Panama video, he was one of the best. Edward Lodewijk Van Halen, (1/26/1955 -10/6/2020). He will be missed.

    Definitely a sad day :(. Van Halen rocked and Eddie Van Halen was definitely one of the greatest if not the guitarist IMO.

    EDIT: Made this in high school.

    An indisputable icon and trailblazer for so many that followed.
    Eddie was the guitarist everyone wanted to compare themselves too.

    We lost you much much too early.
    RIP Eddie

    Ever watched someone die slowly from cancer? No one deserves that. Heck, we won't subject animals to that but we have no problem doing it to humans. After all we must do the humane thing and keep them alive and in pain.
