Respectfully, you don't have to grow old to lose loved ones. Loved ones die all throughout our lives, often beginning when we are very young. If we are incredibly lucky, we don't lose loved ones until we grow old (which is entirely natural and expected). We were very lucky to have EVH for as long as we did.

With Ed's lifelong alcoholism, and all the cocaine he snorted, and all the drugs he did, poor diet & eating habits, could we have imagined an elderly Eddie Van Halen? An elderly Michael Jackson?

"Sammy Hagar has died" short of some kind of accident.

Eddie said some pretty bad stuff about Mike. But Mike has ALWAYS been nothing but class. When the VH brothers talked crap about Dave, Mike was silent. When Sammy talked crap about Dave, Mike was silent. When VH took Mike off the cover of WACF, Mike was silent. When Ed said Mike was a crap bass player, Mike was silent.

I heard that Eddie died while on my way to the hospital to see my dad. He had just been “upgraded” (funny terminology) to End of Life and we were granted an exception to the COVID restriction of one visitor per day. I was already numb and the news had no chance of hitting me harder than the news of my dad. My father died that night, Tuesday Oct. 6th. He was the first one to put a guitar in my hands, he taught me how to tune it and play a power chord, he showed me some kick-ass music and sent me on my way. A year or two into playing chords and Zeppelin licks, my oldest brother gave me Van Halen’s Greatest Hits Volume 1 and ‘Live: Right Here, Right Now’. It turned my life completely up-side-down and my playing exploded as I dove deeper and deeper down the EVH rabbit hole. Soon, I was the 15 year old kid playing EVH with my little band at shows, town festivals, parties, etc. Eventually I moved on to explore other instruments and more “songwriter” influences; but to this day any time I pick up a guitar, Eddie’s DNA is all over my playing. There are millions of people who will say the same and I can imagine no greater imprint to leave on this world. RIP Dad and RIP Eddie - thank you both for everything you gave me.

To know the truth is even more poignant. Mikey looks like he's about to cry. To understand, Edward was a great soul, but as with all of us, his darkside often hurt those around him. Mike was treated very poorly by him. For Mike to still express his love and care for a man who went on record saying he was a poor player who had to be taught everything he knew, and needed a video to learn it, says volumes about Mike's character. Such a shame they didn't get to work it out but I hope he reconciled with Mike like he did with Sammy. I cried for him as much as I cried for Neil Peart. So sadly tragic. Eddie was my hero and I loved him so much. This is on the level of losing Prince, Michael Jackson or Elvis. So sad 😞

I agree that Van Halen's sound is Eddie playing, Alex's set, Roth or Hagars vocals...but also Michaels background vocals. It's an instrument of it's own. However I agree that Michael wasn't on a level like Eddie or many other bass players for that matter. He never needed to be. His simple sounds and tempo left a clear canvas for Eddie's work to show. I think Eddie maybe was too honest but he was a perfectionist and that's part of his genius. I did think it was crap they cut his royalties because his voice is so important to the songs. But overall Michael landed a pretty sweet gig and has rode that thing for over 4 decades. He himself would admit that.

You need to do a tribute show, both Sammy and Roth (who cares if you guys don't get along-time to put petty differences aside) Mike on bass, Wolfgang on the guitar, Alex on drums and possibly other legendary guitarists who were EVH fans to make some special guest appearances to jam along. All proceeds go to cancer research or possibly kids with cancer or something like that. Eddie would probably appreciate something like that.

Remember, no matter how sideways your relationships in this world might go, when you spend a lot of time with people, they become family whether you realize it or not, and whatever happens in life between the beginning and the end, losing close family does not hurt as much as losing estranged family. Love is deeper than anger.

The world will never be the same without Eddie. And VH was never the same without Mike and Sammy. That was the group that gave us SO much. Thanks guys, for all the memories. Still cant believe it.

Sammy & Mikey are the classiest rockers in the business. Much love. RIP Ed.

Ed will live on forever in pickers all over the world. Some kid is listening to Eruption for the 1st time and his mind is being blown. The greatest.

The Best part of all the concerts was when Sammy would say "Ladies and Gentlemen the worlds best guitarist Edward Van Halen" and the audience would go ballistic!

​@Sammy Hagar Sure Sam I'll send the number through the Business inquiries address. - and send over my phone number!! Seen all the Hagar and VH concerts in my area! Love your music! I collected all the CDs and all the singles and imports/box sets from sammy Hagar, Van Halen, DLR, Chickenfoot, Satriani and some Gary. Its a monster collection of nice factory CDs. Real excited to see The Circle come to my area again also! Thanks Sam!

Great high energy group, you all are great, thank you!

When a star dies, it's light continues to shine on and on, for millennia. Eddie Van Halen died in October 2020. But the lives of those he's touched will continue to be brightened by his light. Forever, and ever.

@Sammy Hagar I'd like proof that you really are Sammy Hagar because your name on this reply doesn't have the "Official" mark and when I click on that name to check the channel, it says you joined Dec. 6, 2020 and only have 11 subscribers. There's also a message from someone in the "Discussions" tab looking for info to send you their number. You've also responded to several posts on here telling people to send their number. So...... looks like a scam.

My heart really hurts right now. Eddie was the reason I started playing guitar and stuck with it. Can’t imagine what you two are going through right now

Mike and Sammy lack the typical rock star ego trip, and all the respect to them for their respect to Eddie. These musicians with this kind of talent are not in today's gene pool and I'm glad to have born in the early sixties and experienced the fantastic music that was to come from the likes of Eddie, Randy, Dime and so many others still with us.✝️ RIP Eddie 🎸and other the other greats he joined in heaven

Sincere condolences to you Sammy & Mike on the loss of Eddie. Playing Van Halen songs are bitter sweet. The memories you two have playing with that incredible band will live on forever through the music! RIP EVH. 🙏🏻💔😔🎸

I still can’t believe Eddie’s gone. It just doesn’t seem real. The 6-string king will always be remembered for turning the guitar world upside down in 1978 when Eruption hit the scene. I’ll never forget the blazing speed and mind blowing tapping the first time I heard it. He was one of the reasons I became a musician and was fortunate enough to have a successful career performing and teaching. He was such an inspiration to me and millions of other players. R.I.P. Eddie! You may be gone but you will never be forgotten!

I fell in love with EVH's playing when I first heard him in high school. He was the driving force behind my pursuit of the guitar and I will always be thankful for what he brought to the world. I also know there are two sides to every story, but I have always been saddened by EVH's treatment of Michael Anthony. Mike was on that first album that shocked the world, and in the end he was relegated to the scrap heap. I'm glad that Mike and Sammy are still cranking it out together. Rock on guys.

The world has lost an icon... I still can't believe he's gone. But I have to say, my heart goes out to his Son Wolfgang... I know how bad it hurts to lose a parent.. I lost my Mom and I still struggle with that fact, as such, I truly feel for Wolfgang right now... Hang in there man... I'd like to tell you it get's easier, but it really doesn't.. it just gets different..... remember the good times and keep your Dad close to your heart... that's where I keep my Mom. :(

Not gonna lie, when Sammy asked for a moment of silence, it made me cry. Van Halen has been in my life during my teens, 20's 30's and to this day. Rest In Power Eddie Van Halen.

I always wished Eddie would just appear on stage with these guys one day and say let bygones be bygones and let's just rock our asses off and have a good time.

Sing for Eddie, it would be a awesome tribute in his honor!!! Stay strong, he deserves the 💘 love!!!

It broke my heart to see the pain on your faces, this one will hurt for a long time! Prayers go out to the Van Halen family and for you Sammy and Michael. Rest in peace Eddie!

Michael Anthony is THE classiest guy on planet Earth...Mad respect...!!

Mourning, one of the greatest guitar players of all time. Has left the stage. you have inspired people here in colombia. South america love you eddie

Ed's passing is a tragic loss all around. It's great that his life was prolonged for the past two decades after his original bout with cancer, so that he could continue to spend more time doing the things he loved, being with his family and making music. I was happy to hear that all members of Van Halen were able to make amends before Ed's passing. Life is too short to hold long grudges and dwell on the negative things. Here's to many more years of healthy life for Mike, Alex, Sammy, Dave and Wolf. It would be amazing if they could could collaborate and put together some type of tribute concert in memory of Ed in the future. Rock in Peace Eddie!
