Can't believe it.  We lost Eddie Van Halen.  My dreams of he and Sammy getting back together are dashed.  Goodbye to a great one.

I understand that he was a really nice person in addition to being a great talent. Hats off to him and the other nice people who do not let fame turn them to dickheads. Wishing his family the best.

'On Oct. 6, Van Halen's son Wolfgang announced that his father had died after a "long and arduous battle with cancer." "The certificate also listed a number of other "significant conditions" that contributed to his father's death, including squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (skin cancer) and atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat)."'
