Eddie Van Halen‘s son Wolfgang Van Halen and widow Janie Van Halen have both posted touching tributes on social media to the legendary VAN HALEN guitarist on the first anniversary of his death.
Wolfgang Van Halen, who played with his father as a member of VAN HALEN, wrote:
“One year.
“You fought so hard for so long, but you were still taken away. It’s just so unfair.
“I’m not ok. I don’t think I’ll ever be ok. There’s so much I wish I could show you. So many things I wish I could share with you. I wish I could laugh with you again. I wish I could hug you again. I miss you so much it hurts.
“I’m trying to do my best here without you, but it’s really f**king hard. I hope you’re still proud.
“I love you with all of my heart, Pop. Watch over me.”
Janie Van Halen shared a photo of her with her late husband, hidden from the camera with only their feet visible, along with their dog, and she wrote: “I think about you every single day. Your smile, your laugh, your kindness – in every single way.
“I miss this, I miss us, I miss you, and I try my best to carry on the way you would want me to. But my Peep, some days, that’s really hard to do.
“This will never get easier because there really is no getting over you. The only solace that I can seem to find is knowing you are with god and truly free.
“Until our souls find each other again, please keep an eye on me.
“I love you and miss you so much.
“Love, Your PooPee and our Kody too”.
After Eddie was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer, he began flying to Germany for treatments. Eventually, the cancer spread to Eddie‘s spine and brain. Just a few months later, Eddie died at age 65.
VAN HALEN was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2007.
