Wolfgang Van Halen pays tribute to late father Eddie Van Halen on what would've been his 67th birthday

By Matt Friedlander

Eddie Van Halen's son, Wolfgang, posted a touching tribute on Wednesday to mark what would've been his father's 67th birthday.

The homage features a photo of Eddie with his son when Wolfgang was a young child and shows the two sitting next to each other on some steps, with both looking back over their shoulders at the camera.

The photo is accompanied by a note from Wolfgang that reads, "Happy Birthday, Pop. I love and miss you more than you could ever know."

Eddie died of lung cancer at age 65 on Oct. 6, 2020.

Wolfgang, who is now 30, played bass with his dad in Van Halen from 2006 until Eddie's death. He also fronts his own solo group, Mammoth WVH, which released its self-titled debut last June.

The band is teaming up with Dirty Honey for a trek dubbed the "Young Guns Tour," whose kickoff date recently was moved from Jan. 18 to Feb. 20.
