I am an old man who likes only music from the 1950s & 1960s (especially "Angel Baby").

I have never listened to that gentleman's music, but I have, of course, heard of him.

When we hear that a famous person has died, it is a salutary reminder that it can happen to us or our loved ones at any time (after all, he was only 65).

So maybe we should learn to put everything in perspective -- even what is going to happen on November 3.

Eddie Van Halen has died. I can't believe someone hasn't started a thread about it.

Opening this one. Guys PLEASE look before starting a new thread. Thanks.

I try to but didn’t see one here or in breaking news when I posted this one. It can be difficult when you don’t know how someone might title their thread on the same topic.

He really died.

 

[Mac1958]

Van Halen and Peart were just too good for 2020.

Rest in Peace, Eddie.

Throat cancer. Probably caused by smoking.

RIP. Cancer sucks.

Dude, he died like two hours ago. Not sure how that would be possible.

I just looked - You were correct - A few threads on this.
