EDDIE VAN HALEN 1955-2020
Edward Van Halen was born in the Netherlands on January 26th, 1955, to a Dutch father and Indonesian mother. They emigrated to the USA in 1962. Eddie learned the drums while his brother Alex played guitar, but they soon switched instruments, creating the core of a band that would change the world.
Music has never been the same since the release of Van Halen’s first, self-titled album in 1978. It wasn’t just that no one else could play guitar like that. No one else had imagined the guitar could sound like that.
