One of the world's great guitarists. RIP EVH. 65 seems to be pretty much the standard for rockers like him.

Most articles I've seen have just said cancer. I finally heard a late afternoon radio DJ say EVH has had a long battle with throat cancer.

Shit. Van Halen was my favorite band before I discovered Rush. We lost Neil and now Eddie this year. Fuck 2020.

I remember reading a few years or so ago that he had throat cancer.
R.I.P. to the man that made "hammer-ons" famous.

Yes, throat cancer got him in the end. He had his fair share of health issues over the years.

'He didn't care for the factory made guitars...he preferred to customize his axes to find something fresh and exciting. To Eddie, perfection was "boring," and believed that "mistakes were the most exciting element" of making music. Let's pause a moment to ponder on that. Because it's one of the most important teachings that Eddie Van Halen has left us. Perfection is boring, mistakes were the most exciting element of making music. In a world of brain dead, fast food, auto tuned, cookie cutter, sample driven music, Eddie's philosophy reigns over us like a spirit in the night. I pray that we all truly contemplate his wisdom.'~Professor of Rock
