It’s been one month since the legendary rock guitarist Eddie Van Halen passed away following a long battle with cancer. Now, his son Wolfgang is opening up to reveal how he is dealing with this loss.
Wolfgang, 29, took to Twitter on Friday to mark the one month anniversary of his father’s death.
“1 month. Not a second goes by where you’re not on my mind,” he wrote alongside a photo of himself and his father. “I miss talking with you. I miss laughing with you. I miss listening to music with you. I miss making music with you. I just miss everything. I love you so much, Pop. It’s really hard being here without you.”

It was Wolfgang, who is the son of Van Halen and his ex-wife Valerie Bertinelli, who announced the rocker’s death last month.
“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 wrote on social media. “My heart is broken and I don’t think I’ll ever fully recover from this loss. I love you so much, Pop.”

Van Halen was first diagnosed with tongue cancer in 2000, and he managed to beat it by 2002. In 2019, however, it was revealed that Van Halen had secretly been battling throat cancer for five years. Sources said that his health went downhill fast in his final 72 hours, with doctors finding that his cancer had moved to his brain as well as other organs.
Bertinelli paid tribute to Van Halen after his death as well.
“40 years ago my life changed forever when I met you,” the actress tweeted. “You gave me the one true light in my life, our son, Wolfgang. Through all your challenging treatments for lung cancer, you kept your gorgeous spirit and that impish grin. I’m so grateful Wolfie and I were able to hold you in your last moments. I will see you in our next life my love.”
Those close to Bertinelli have said that she has been grieving deeply for Van Halen after his death.
“Valerie and Eddie had some rough times, but their love for each other never wavered,” a source told US Weekly. “She’s truly heartbroken.”
