Wolfgang Van Halen Remembers ‘Heartbreaking’ Final Moments with Father Eddie

Wolfgang Van Halen recently described his dying moments with his father, Eddie Van Halen.“I was at the movies. I received a call from my father while I was watching the movie. I received a voicemail but didn’t comprehend it. “He was unlike himself,” the 33-year-old singer claimed in an Behind the Music episode that premiered on Paramount+ on May 2, 2024.He went on to say, “I immediately called Al [Alex Van Halen], who told me that Dad fell from his bike while they were driving and is now at a hospital in Agora Hills. “There was something wrong with his brain.”

“He couldn’t complete a sentence because something was wrong with his brain. “He had a brain tumor,” the Panama hitmaker added. “It’s not easy to see someone you look up to as a pillar of strength — and have to be that pillar of strength yourself.”Wolfgang also stated that one day, he awoke to a doctor’s call saying, “You should get over here.”

“I clutched my father’s hand. I kept it up to my face until he left. “I felt the warmth of his hand on my face until I couldn’t feel him anymore,” the musician cried. “The last thing he ever said to me was ‘I love you,'” Wolfgang remembered.
