This Is What Really Happened To Eddie Van Halen's Massive Estate
Wolfgang Van Halen, Eddie's son, announced his father's death on Twitter. In a message, he wrote, "He was the best father I could ever ask for. Every moment I've shared with him on and off stage was a gift." Wolfgang was Eddie's son with ex-wife Valerie Bertinelli. They married in 1981, and although the couple separated in 2001, they remained close friends. Their divorce was finalized in 2007, according to Distractify.
Eddie Van Halen married his second wife, Janie Liszewski, in 2009, and they were together until his death. In a post on Instagram, Janie paid tribute to Eddie and expressed her grief over his loss. "Saying goodbye is the hardest thing I have ever had to do so instead I say so long, I will see you again soon in a place with no pain or sorrow," she wrote.
According to Deadline, Valerie, Wolfgang, Janie, and Eddie's brother Alex were present at Van Halen's side at the time of his death on October 6, 2020. Fellow musicians were quick to pay tribute to Van Halen by posting heartfelt messages on Twitter, including David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar, Gene Simmons, Steven Tyler, and Kenny Chesney, among others (via Entertainment Weekly). They praised Eddie for his achievements in music, calling him "a true rocker," "a Guitar God," and "the Mozart of rock."
