Eddie Van Halen’s ex-wife Valerie Bertinelli has revealed that she was with the singer during his ‘last moments’ before he died yesterday.
The Van Halen frontman sadly died on Tuesday aged 65 at St. Johns Hospital in Santa Monica. He had battled throat cancer for several years.
Paying tribute to Eddie, his former spouse Valerie – who he was married to for 26 years – shared a sweet throwback photo of them with their son Wolfgang as a baby.
She wrote: ‘40 years ago my life changed forever when I met you. 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.’
She added: ‘I will see you in our next life my love.’
Wolfgang offered support and replied: ‘Love you, Ma.’
Valerie, who was once the star of CBS sitcom One Day At A Time, met Eddie after going to a Van Halen concert with her brothers.
The couple married in 1981 but split in 2007. Eddie went on to marry his second wife Janie in 2009 and she was also by his bedside as he died.
Wolfgang broke the news of his father’s death and wrote on social media: ‘I can’t believe I’m having to write this, but my father, Edward Lodewijk Van Halen, has lost his long and arduous battle with cancer this morning.
‘He was the best father I could ever ask for. Every moment I’ve shared with him on and off stage was a gift.
‘My heart is broken and I don’t think I’ll ever fully recover from this loss. I love you so much, Pop.’
TMZ reports that Eddie’s health had declined in the last 72 hours, with doctors discovering the cancer had moved to his brain as well as other organs.
He has also reportedly been in and out of hospital in the past year and recently underwent a round of chemotherapy.
