In a recent update shown to his thousands of followers, the late guitarist’s son Wolfgang, who followed in his father’s footsteps by becoming a musician, shared a memorable photo of his father and himself.
He was sitting and beaming from ear to ear as he held his guitar. At the same time, Eddie lovingly put his arm around her shoulder. “Happy 68th Birthday Pop,” she wrote in the caption, adding, “I wish I could hug you and tell you in person. I love and miss you more than you can ever know.”
Instead, Bertinelli, who was married to Eddie from 1981 to 2007 and has since referred to him as her “Soulmate,” posted two memorable, black-and-white photos of herself with Eddie and another including their son. The 62-year-old accompanied his post with a white heart emoji.
Family fans received both posts warmly, and they wished Eddie a happy birthday. In Wolfgang’s comments a fan wrote, “Stay strong Wolf. He is always with you and I know he is SOOOO proud of you. He is smiling at you. Happy Heavenly 68th EVH!”

Likewise, the mother-daughter duo reflected on Eddie’s loss on the second anniversary of his death. They used the same medium to share a touching tribute to honor his memory. The Blast notes that Wolfgang shared a selfie of himself and his late father staring and smiling at the camera.
The 31-year-old looked happy standing next to his father. The two can be seen by the camera, leaning their heads against each other. Wolfgang wore a white crew-neck t-shirt and paired it with a black hoodie while his shiny hair was slicked back, while his father wore a dark gray t-shirt, but instead, his gray hair was showing. In the caption, he wrote:
“2 years and not a single day goes by where you are not on my mind. I try to do my best and keep it up but it just isn’t the same without you here, Pop. I love and miss you more than you can imagine.”
His mother also posted a heart-wrenching black-and-white photo of both father and son in their youth. In that heartbreaking moment, they looked cheerful and loving. The pair were shirtless, but Wolfgang was wearing black and white striped shorts. The actress captioned the post with two white heart emojis.

Last July, The Blast shared Wolfgang’s insight into what and who brought his father’s tribute concert to a halt and if it would ever happen. He sat down with a reporter from Rolling Stone, discussing the proposed tribute, among other topics.
During the interview, the interviewer questioned the circumstances of the tribute concert, which would involve his uncle, Alex Van Halen, and Joe Satriani. He replied:
“All I can say is that there is an attempt to do something. But, you know, I don’t like to talk negative about people, but there are some people who make it very difficult to do anything when it comes to Van Halen.”
Elaborating on the topic, he shared that the problem stemmed from his late father’s band, saying, “But, you know, ever since I was in Van Halen, there’s always been some things that got in the way of just making music and having fun. time. And, I think, that’s what happened.”
As a result, he called out the fans’ attitude towards the group “Van Halen”, claiming that they could contribute to the neglect of the concert. He said, “I know how Van Halen fans get. They are highly motivated by certain people they like in the group. And it’s not worth it,” then said, “we’ve made an attempt, and some people might find it hard to cooperate and make it not happen.”
