Wolfgang Van Halen posted a note to mark his late father Eddie Van Halen‘s birthday on Friday.
Wolfgang wrote, “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 [crap]. 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. I love and miss you more than you could ever possibly know. Happy Birthday, Pop.”
Wolfgang also announced his first signature guitar made by EVH Gear. The SA-126 was road-tested over the past two years on Mammoth WVH tours and is a semi-hollow body instrument. It will go on sale on May, and you can check out a video about the guitar on YouTube.
