Eddie Van Halen lost his battle with throat cancer on Tuesday. His son, Wolfgang Van Halen broke the news to the world on social media.
"I can't believe I have to write this, but my father, Edward Lodewijk Van Halen, has lost his long arduous battle with cancer this morning.
He was the best father I could ever ask for. Every moment I've shared with him on and off stage was a gift.
My heart is broken and I don't think I'll ever fully recover from this loss.
I love you so much, Pop."
