Nos acabamos de enterar de la triste noticia del la muerte de Eddie Van Halen a los 65 años, considerado uno de los más grandes guitarristas de la historia del rock.

«Mi corazón está roto y no creo que nunca me recupere de esta pérdida» (Wolfgang Van Halen).

El guitarrista falleció en el Hospital St. Johns en Santa Mónica acompañando de su esposa, Janie, su hijo Wolfgang y su hermano Alex. A pesar de haber confesado en más de una ocasión ser fumador compulsivo, el músico decía que su cáncer de garganta que padecía podía deberse a las púas de metal que utilizaba y que se introducía en la boca durante sus conciertos.

Artistas y compañeros se suman a las condolencias

Inconceivable that I am writing this at this time. Rest In Peace Master Edward Van Halen. I cherish our conversations and your influence early in my career. I can not believe it to be true that you have moved on so soon. RIP (Richie Kotzen)

Feeling deep sadness and overwhelming appreciation.
The appreciation and love for him is bigger though.
Let’s take a minute and try to imagine our world if he never showed up.
It’s unthinkable.
Thank you King Edward. You are deeply loved and will be missed. (Steve Vai)

Hoy nos ha dejado el ABSOLUTO MAESTRO…😔
