Eddie Van Halen died of cancer at the age of 65, and the cause of death is unknown.
Wolfgang called the outlet a'scum' after they obtained an early copy of the death certificate, but also revealed that Eddie wanted his ashes to be scattered off the coast of Malibu.Wolfgang was the youngest member of the band.He performs with a band.
Wolfgang wrote on the social networking site that his father had died of cancer this morning.He was the best father I could ever ask for.On and off stage, every moment I shared with him was a gift.I don't think I will ever recover from this loss.The rocker's son said he loved him so much.
Eddie's battle with cancer was an underlying cause, but the immediate cause was a stroke, according to the death certificate.Pneumonia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and lung cancer are some of the underlying causes listed on the death certificate.Three years ago, Van Halen was diagnosed with lung cancer.
Jimmy Page, Tommy Iommi, and all of the Van Halen bandmates have paid tribute to the late rock star.A number of Eddie's guitars were snatched up by fans at an auction and brought in $422,000.
Wolfgang went off on the people who bought the guitars.Three striped guitars were sold at an auction for charity.They were not stage guitars.I had nothing to do with it.I don't plan on selling any of my father's guitars.The only place they could possibly be is in a museum.
