I still remember the shock of hearing Eddie Van Halen had died. We knew that he had medical issues, but no one outside his family knew he was so sick. One year ago today, Eddie died after a long battle with cancer, at Santa Monica Hospital with his son Wolfgang, wife Janie, ex wife Valerie Bertinelli, and brother Alex by his side.

Today, his band mate Sammy Hagar shared a photo of Eddie flying through the air with that ever present smile on his face, saying,

"I can't believe it's been a year. The man is gone but the music lives on#forever."

His son Wolfgang shared a father/son photo, writing,

"You fought so hard for so long, but you were still taken away. It’s just so unfair.

I’m not ok. I don’t think I’ll ever be ok. There’s so much I wish I could show you. So many things I wish I could share with you. I wish I could laugh with you again. I wish I could hug you again. I miss you so much it hurts.

I’m trying to do my best here without you, but it’s really fucking hard. I hope you’re still proud.

I love you with all of my heart, Pop. Watch over me."
