Van Halen.

Wolfgang Van Halen has shared a sweet and poignant tribute to his late father Eddie Van Halen, on what would have been the Dutch-born guitar legend's 69th birthday.

Posting on X, the Mammoth WVH man writes, "I wish you were here so I could give you a big hug, go to dinner, celebrate it with you and make a dumb joke about it being your 69th birthday. Just regular shit. I miss hearing you laugh. I miss laughing with you. It's the little things.

"I'll do my best to keep a smile on my face and think of you today. But then again, that's not very different than any other day so far without you.
