WOLFGANG VAN HALEN

Eddie Van Halen’s son, Wolfgang Van Halen, is honoring his father on what would’ve been his 67th birthday.

Wolfgang Van Halen is paying tribute on the one-year anniversary of father Eddie Van Halen's death from cancer at age 65.

He joined Van Halen at 16. Now he’s going it alone, with a debut album that was in the making before his father’s death.

Guns N’ Roses will have a two-night residency at Hard Rock Live inside at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood Oct. 2-3.

Welcome (back) to the jungle.

The legendary rock band Van Halen wasn't known for many cosmically-themed songs, but its influence on millions can certainly be described as "out of this world." The ballad is keyboard heavy, another avenue of Eddie Van Halen's remarkable talent. He and his brother Alex, who is Van Halen's incredible drummer, were taught to play piano at an early age. The song is from the Van Halen record "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" and was a fixture in Eddie's live guitar solos through the years. The combination of innovation and mastery of his art, truly makes me believe that Eddie Van Halen's talent was not of this Earth.
