Wolfgang Van Halen has recently recalled his final moments with his father, Eddie Van Halen.
“I was in a movie. I got a call from my dad when I was in the movie. I got a voicemail, but I didn’t understand it. It wasn’t like himself,” the 33-year-old singer said in the episode of behind the music dropped on Paramount+ on May 2, 2024.
He further shared: “I immediately called Al [Alex Van Halen] and he tells me that dad fell off his bike while they were driving and they are at a hospital in Agora Hills. “Something was wrong with his brain.”
“He couldn’t finish a sentence because something was wrong with his brain. He had a brain tumor,” he said. Panama The hitmaker continued. “It’s not easy to see someone you admire as a pillar of strength, and you have to be that pillar of strength yourself.”
Wolfgang added that one day he woke up to a call from a doctor saying, “You should come here.”
“I took my dad’s hand. I held it close to my face until he was gone. I felt the warmth of his hand on my face until I couldn’t feel it anymore,” the musician said with tears in his eyes.
“The last thing he said to me was ‘I love you,'” Wolfgang recalls.
