Even though he’s gone…..he lived his life doing what he loved……making music and being a husband and a dad. RIP Edward. I think Val was the love of his life and vice versa.
They actually looked like brother and sister. I'm so glad Val was with him during his final moments. Even though they couldn't live with each other , they truly loved each other. RIP Eddie. You are missed!
I always thought the same thing... regardless of the others in their lives, they were always the love of each other's lives and hearts. One of the truest love stories not just as celebrities but in the everyday world. They didn't just love each other, they genuinely adored and cherished each other. I write poetry and I feel like writing one about those two and having someone else take it and make a song out of... What'd special dedication that would be... to and for them both.
Every concert footage and video always showed how much he loved his music and performing. He never looked like he was just going through the motions like so many musicians do. Btw, does anyone know if he ever did eat a brown M&M? Now I'm really dating myself, 😂 lol
@@tonyasmom hahahaha 👍💯 I can Totally Agree with you about watching him in Concert....saw VH 4 times and each show was AMAZING!! ♥️♥️♥️ BUT....Sadly we lost 1 of My Heroes!! 💔😭🥀🎸
They were so in love in the 80's they literally couldn't stop kissing and smiling at each other! They reminded me a lot of how couples were back then --- the 80's seemed to be about wanting to be in love and celebrate being in love, you can hear it in the songs and see it in the movies of that decade. These days, I see young couples walking down the street and they barely hold hands, and never kiss or smile at each other and share laughs. It's really sad what this world has become --- but I'm just glad I was a teen in the 80's and saw the good times, and I really thank the super talented Eddie Van Halen for providing the soundtrack to my life back then. RIP, King Edward --- the King of Ten Fingers and Six Strings!
Best celebrity couple ever! I don’t think they ever stopped loving each other. I think Eddie’s lifestyle just wore Valerie out, but she loved him just as strong to the day he died.
Val said they were never really in love, it was more puppy love.... she said because they were so young and immature when they got together.., they both cheated on each other, Val always said they made better friends than lovers
I believe I read that she stated in an interview that if he would have survived his cancer they would have gotten back together. He was and always be her Knight In Shining Armor
I thought it was because of his drug use and also that he wouldn’t stop smoking - even after he got oral cancer and lost part of his tongue. I adored them as a couple.
She also used drugs and drank a lot. It is documented and i think in her book she says so. Let’s view it as this: they met in a not typical way, fell in love instantly, their souls connected forever, spent ages together through the good and very rough and bad times(which were many!), had a unique and great son that is an excellent human being and very intelligent, talented, polite, social, calm and educated, shared their life, talent and wealth, visited sick or less fortunate people(including schools, hospitals and fellow musicians), contributed to society, left a legacy and more. I have always followed their many stories, ups & downs and all, but what many of us fail to grasp, realize or admit is that actually and in a biiiiig, great part of life’s equation and balance…drugs(including alcohol, which is also a drug) literally destroyed them. The amount of constant alcohol and smokes eddie consumed since he was young(he said so himself) is ASTONISHING. Few humans can survive that input and he did, it cost him health, physically, part of his tongue, teeth(read sammy’s book and look at that era’s videos), mental anguish, many bad decisions, some not so great moments, strained the marriage… He really was addicted to many bad things(all documented, i’m not making stuff up), also his brother(i met him here in puerto rico, all of them, except eddie because he was too drunk. Sammy himself said to me to not bother and save my time because he was gone. And i have 2 witnesses) they even had a wing at the betty ford clinic for them. That is on a whole other level. The stupid and useless drugs and the constant use and abuse just took it’s toll on their unique and beautiful relation. He admired her, what she did, who she was and who she stood for, talent, her roots and origin, her smarts, beauty, wit, humor, family, her whole package and story. And he adored her and was his queen, put her on a pedestal, they were a perfect match. But…drugs. Damned drug abuse. Facts.
SO SAD OUR MEDICAL SYSTEM AFTER DECADES WITH STILL NO PROGRESS AGAINST CANCERS COULD STILL NOT SAVE HIM.EDDY WAS THE HEART OF ROCK AND ROLL.RIP BROTHER.
There is only one other couple in Music who seemed to love each other and belong together as much as Val and Eddie-- Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley. You could just see the love on their faces and in their body language and in their smiles that they smiled for no one else. I don't understand why both couples split. Lots of pressure, problems, it's a rough lifestyle. Still, so glad that they found and had that real deep love connection with someone. That kind of love is hard to find for anyone, but for people whose musical careers are their lives, it seems like it would be even harder.
@@leahartlee29 Seek therapy! The Pedo King of Pop/Drugs & the life long addict/cult member--yep-true "love"! Cannot believe u actually believe what u commented!
I am always speechless, even with a picture collage Edwards spirit shines so bright and Val’s heart is to be honored, the fact that Val was with Edward in his final moments goes to show you what kind of a wonderful soul she was and always will be. 😢

@@iliafigueroa4820 I’m not denying anything however when I here about people’s flaws, I am forced to look at mine , and when I see my flaws I remember no one has any room to talk period that is why I don’t make comments about anyone’s flaws but my own thank you so very much for your beautiful comment.
Man, I just loved seeing those two together. G-damn I don't think I've EVER seen another musician or celebrity that smiled as much as Eddie did. It's so friggin infectious ha
Real Love doesn't lie, and when a man is really IN LOVE, he can't hide his happiness. You can see it in his smile! Her prescence appears to have lit him up, and it showed on his face. At least in the beginning, it looked that way. I think she was his muse and inspired him in his music. Every Man needs that spark to ignite his heart, fuel his passion, and catch the flame of his purpose. This song is, and will always be, pure 🔥. I loved seeing these two together and love Van Halen's Mu🎼ic! 💖
I’m 59yrs, was talking w/ my son who is 37 yrs just yesterday about Eddie- that smile! Such talent!!! But truly his infectious smile and joy is what so many fans of his music associate his name to.

Two Very special individuals who deserved each other for as long as they could handle the Heat. The got to create a very special child who will hopefully portray the best of them both
She was and is gorgeous! I saw Van Halen live in Rockford, Illinois in 1986 on the "Live without a Net" tour. BTO opened for them. After BTO got done playing I walked around the arena while the sets were changed. I walked just next to the sound booth as Valerie was walking up into it. I was about 6 ft. away from her. I had a crush on her from her days on "One Day at a Time". Seeing her right there was awesome. She was stunning in that 80's hair and makeup! It was one of the best concerts I've ever seen, and I've seen many over the years. I feel very fortunate to have been there that night.
There was something mystical about these two; even if it was only how much they resembled each other. There was an extra hand in them finding each other. They were rock and roll cool together.
I remember one night in 1985 when me and my Mom were watching one of Valerie's made-for-TV movies and my Mom said "I love all her movies" and then I remembered how much my Mom didn't like all the rock bands I listened to like Van Halen, Motley Crue, and Ratt and I said "guess who she is married to?" and my Mom said "who?" and I said "she's married to my hero Eddie Van Halen" and my Mom nearly passed out she was so surprised LOL
Wolfie sure got the talent from his dad. They were one of the “IT” couples in the 80’s. At the height of both of their careers. Like so many divorced couples there’s still love between them despite being unable to live together. She and Wolfie helped EVH while he was battling a challenging cancer. I’m afraid he was a chain smoker and it finally caught up to him. 💔RIP E VH! 🙏

They were Sooo in love!! Heartbreaking that they couldn’t make it through to the end, but they were together at the end of Ed’s life because Love evolves but doesn’t disappear! After Eddie’s passing Valerie spoke lovingly of Ed’s Smile and she was so right - he LIT up the world with that Smile!! 💞🌹❤️
Their love never, ever died. They were truly the love of each other's lives and it is so evident in every one of those clips. Wish Edward had not taken the road to such a dark side. But even through that, their love endured. Massive respect for them as a couple! ❤

@@iliafigueroa4820 100% true! Their love story was not tainted by drug use; it was marinated in it. Take out the drugs and alcohol and I bet they would have been together truly until death did them part. And in many ways, they were.
I grew up with both of them. I loved them back then and I STILL Love them both!!!!! I can't explain the feeling I have when thinking of my 2 favorite celebrities❤
These two were definitely America's sweetheart couple. The deep love, respect, and life long bond they shared is so evident when you see them together. Their faces light up. Blessings to their beautiful boy throughout his life. 🙏🏼💜
I love both of them! I feel sorry for Valerie! She had a love so great that she can never find another! I lost my husband 11 years ago. People ask me about dating, and my answer is this “sure, do you know where I can find another Frank?” I can’t imagine being with another man besides my husband! We got married at 18, right of high school, and he passed away after 47 years, 10 months of marriage (almost 48 years) and I still love him as much today than when we got married! I am still married in my mind!! I am a single 76 year old woman who cries almost every day when I think of him! Sorry to get so sappy, but the Lord gets me through!
So much love and affection between Ed and Val in their younger days. You can tell they were totally smitten with each other. Of course, there was some dark moments in the marriage, since I read Valerie's book and she details various affairs and drug use by both of them back in the 80's.
They never stopped loving one another even after divorcing. They remained friends through everything. Honestly, I think they were soulmates. I think it's great that she provided comfort and support to him during his illness and at the end of his life. RIP Eddie. You're gone but never forgotten.

Everytime I watch the videos makes me cry happy tears love the music always brings back so many memories of my husband and I still married 40 years of my heart.❤
Okay I'm 55 and I was in love with Val from the very beginning of her career. Always put her up on the pedestal with the gorgeous women of the day. And of course being a teenager growing up in the '80s Eddie Van Halen was a god to me. I worked out a lot had long blonde hair like David Lee Roth and try like hell to play guitar. But never got anywhere lol. Anyhow just ironic how one of the most beautiful women that admire growing up and one of my rock heroes got married. I cannot tell you how much I miss those days. I know Eddie wasn't the best person but he had a big heart. And Val was beautiful on the inside and out. Good video thank you reminds me of being young
When Eddie and Valerie first started dating they had to be the cutest couple that ever got together in a photograph or video screen. Their pictures were everywhere! It’s really nice to see those times again. They both look so happy!♥️
Feel like my entire teenage years died the same moment when I read that text from Wolfe. 😢 yes I’m 51 now. Miss ya Ed. VH the Best ever. No one could touch them and still can’t hold a candle to them in rock music. Love Dave and Sammy. By the way they should of never let Sammy go.
Agreed! I was a sophomore in HS when their first album came out, and we were all thinking, wtf?! Saw them with Dave twice in the early days, 3 times during the Sammy years and then later when Dave came back and I agree with you, should have never gotten rid of Sammy. The early Dave years was great, great music but the Sammy years brought out a different more unique EVH… his playing was so crisp. And that uniqueness continued until the end.
@@2linepass1 I was a sophomore in HS as well and a new kid from California brought the album over for me to listen to. Tore the top of my head off. That was my introduction to VH. I had the first two albums on 8-track and a badass sound system in my car and would just blast them driving around. Running With The Devil through a Jensen sound system? You could hear me coming a half a block away. Saw them twice in the early days as well, and as much as I liked Sammy, VH wasn't the same to me without Dave. But man they framed my teenage years.
@@zyrrhos ahhhhh the 8 track cassettes. When I got my license I had saved up for a down payment for a new car, and my mom helped me. I bought a 1981 gran prix, brand new off the lot. 8 track am/fm stereo. I thought I was king, jamming to VH, AC/DC, etc with my sun roof open. Cruising up and down by the mall to see if we could pick up girls. Here I am 60 now, happily married 3 adult daughters but I think back to those times and laugh, and I miss those days so much. I listen to 70’s on 7 SiriusXM a lot and it brings back memories of growing up in those days. We had such good music back then didn’t we?! The music now sucks.
@@2linepass1 As I get older and see what this country has become and where it's headed, I become more grateful that I grew up when I did. Always wondered if the Roman people who were alive during the fall of their empire were aware of it, and now I think I have the answer lol I bought a modified '73 black Impala for a $1,000 when I turned 16. And when I say modified, one of its features was rerouted windshield washer lines into the dash so you could fill the reservoir with your favorite beverage, if you know what I mean. Oh yeah, and that kick ass Jensen sound system. Definitely not a lot of great music out there, you really have to go look for it. I really like Radiohead, but they're more 90s/early 2000s, and I like acts like The Shins, Beach House, Sufjan Stevens, Damien Jurado, and Tame Impala, but their music is heavily 60s-70s inspired. Not much else really. Do you subscribe to Rick Beato's channel? He's our age.
@@zyrrhos NICE, regarding the impala. And cars today aren’t made the way they used to be. And prices?! For example, my 81 grand prize, fully loaded cost me just over $9 after taxes. I remember my payments were just over $80 a month. Last July, I bought a 2022 dodge Ram, fully loaded..6 cylinder turbo, after taxes it was just over $49k The hemi was going for $62 I didn’t want the hemi, my dodge that I traded in was a hemi and with gas prices I wanted to turn it down a notch. Oh, and payments are $535 a month lease… Big difference from the 70’s. Like you said, I’m glad I grew up and did my high school years in the late 70’s. Carefree, and no hate!! Yes Jensen speakers, I remember then well and of course, don’t forget the eq’s we’d hook up separately to get more sound. Music in the 90’s and 2000s were good, breaking Benjamin, shine down, Pearl Jam, sound garden, three days Grace… good music. If things don’t change in the next year or so, it’s going to get really bad. No, never heard of him but I’ll subscribe… thanks brother!!
Valerie and Eddie, were a very attractive and talented couple!! I really loved them both together. Valerie, is an inspiring and excellent, actress and Eddie, very excellent, inspiring, original, influential, guitar player. Eddie rocks !! He will always be remembered. 🎤🎸🎵🎹🥁 Life is better with music.
They were a beautiful couple, and u can see how deeply they loved one another! I wish things had turned out differently ; this was a tragic breakup, but they were still there for each other! Love truly does transcend everything & bares all things out, even onto the edge of doom! Eddie is truly missed! I loved his music & his dimples & smile just melt your heart! This was also they glory days of pop culture, & the world was in a much happier place in the glorious 80's & 90's. I'm so glad I grew up in those glorious eras! 💜U Eddie & Valerie! 🌟🎁☀️🥰
Thier Spark Was Magical . It Was a Beautiful Love Story , but Nothing Ever Last Forever . Thier Union Produced a Very Talented Young Musician Who's Forging His Own Musical Path . I'd Like to Thank Whoever Put This on RUclips. Thank You . When I Watched This I Got Those Same Happy Feeling I Had Back Then .
They are my all time favorite celebrity couple. They could’ve been the kids next door- so real, so clearly comfortable to the core with each other. They physical looked like the make and female version of the same person.
These two were totally meant to be together ❤ Marriage is never perfect.. regardless of who it is . We all live for love even when it can be hard. Your Soulmate" .. That's when you know it's forever like it was for Val and Eddie. He still loves her from beyond, as she still loves him 💕 RIP Eddie! You are deeply loved and missed!!
I think what gets me so emotional about seeing Edward and Val like this, especially with "Love Comes Walking In" playing, I remember those days when we were all young, the smiles and laughter, all that great music, the possibility for the future, being in love, loud, proud, and nary a cloud....when I look around and see what people have become--the cheap way people live their lives, the destruction of all that we've ever known by a group of people who want everyone to live a miserable political life in chains...seeing Edward & Val so happy in those times, makes me miss Edward alot--but makes me bleed for us all and what's been taken from us...
Ed & Val accomplished more in one life-time than most do if they were given 100 life-times. Do the best you can with your God-given talent. We love and miss you, Ed!
The 80s were a Romantic Era. The clothes, hair, movies, and music. It was a great time to be young and in love. I was in love so many times in the 80s, and loved back. I would listen to Love Walks In, because a guy that I dated, who moonlighted as a DJ would play it as soon as I walked in to where he was playing. I miss those years so much.
Thank you for this tribute to two of the nicest people who deserved to be together. Ed was just a troubled genius and hard to live with, but she did really love him until the end. Look up the story about the birds in her back yard after he died.

The power couple of my youth (the 80's), watching this makes me realize to appreciate the smiles and laughs all the more. I watch her show on Food Network and I am a 52 year old guy. Love ya Valerie. Stay safe and Blessed.
That is beautiful. The best videos I have ever seen of both of them. I have an autograph Frankenstein. Given to me by Eddie VanHalen. In the parking lot of guitar centers in Hollywood. The old guitar centers. 1997...cowboy john norco California horse Town USA 🇺🇸. I still have that guitar. Thank you brother
They had what most never find, they had that deep love that never died. This footage is sad to watch, Rip.. to the best guitar player 🎸 that ever lived.

Sammy himself said to me to not bother and save my time because he was gone. And i have 2 witnesses) they even had a wing at the betty ford clinic for them. That is on a whole other level. The stupid and useless drugs and the constant use and abuse just took it’s toll on their unique and beautiful relation. He admired her, what she did, who she was and who she stood for, talent, her roots and origin, her smarts, beauty, wit, humor, family, her whole package and story. And he adored her and was his queen, put her on a pedestal, they were a perfect match. But…drugs. Damned drug abuse. Facts.
I guess his death hit me like alot of people took John Lennons death. All i know is a man i never met, but seen many times, touched me in my soul like no other. His passing hurt like a family member or a friends you grew up with. He was there when i got my heart broke for the first time. He was there when my wife said yes, and there when my kids were born. He was introduced and beloved by both my sons and has made an impression on our lives that will never be forgotten. Valerie being his wife made us all feel a closeness to her as well. I will look for him in my afterlife, and hope to listen to his phenomenal talent with my lord and savior Jesus Christ. I say this because i know in my heart his talent was devine. Angels rock out to his riffs im sure.God makes no mistakes.
Good Italian girl from Detroit meets bad boy from Pasadena and it was love at first sight --- they make romance movies about people like Eddie and Valerie ❤❤
It was so sad when he passed. They look like God put them on Earth for each other. I was also sad when they divorced. My heart goes out to Valerie and her family and to Eddie’s family and friends as well. May God bless them all.❤
You can see the love in their eyes, and Eddie had the most beautiful smile, that could light up a room! I SO wish they would have stayed together and worked it out, but at least they stayed friends!
Even though he’s gone…..he lived his life doing what he loved……making music and being a husband and a dad. RIP Edward. I think Val was the love of his life and vice versa.
You did a wonderful job putting these clips together. Thank you.

No, I didn’t. This is not my channel.
no doubt
Yes looked very much in love.
Agree 100%
They actually looked like brother and sister. I'm so glad Val was with him during his final moments. Even though they couldn't live with each other , they truly loved each other. RIP Eddie. You are missed!
Super rare neither one bad mouthed the other.
I always thought the same thing... regardless of the others in their lives, they were always the love of each other's lives and hearts. One of the truest love stories not just as celebrities but in the everyday world. They didn't just love each other, they genuinely adored and cherished each other. I write poetry and I feel like writing one about those two and having someone else take it and make a song out of... What'd special dedication that would be... to and for them both.
I remember when they got together and it was so weird how much they looked alike. I think it was such true love and I wish it would have stayed way. 😢
@Calista Shorts, Can you share some of your poetry with us?
I always thought they looked so much alike too.
His smile was ageless, his talent was supernatural. RIP Eddie, you are missed 😇
I miss the 80s
@@joankuehn4479 Yeah, me too
That's why he stood out so well. When you see photos of all these rockers, they ain't smilin'.
@@EviMlcak he was one of a kind! RIP, sweet Eddie.
Пока мы его помним, Эдди всегда с нами. 🙏
I don't cry often, but here goes a box of Kleenex. Rest in peace Ed. God speed to Val and Wolf.
When the World was fun. R.I.P. King Edward 👑👑🎸🎸 We love you Valerie & Wolfgang
I thought the exact same thing. When the world was fun.
@@myfavoritedream2149 👍👍 WE need a time machine cuz this here future suckssss
THEY WERE A CUTE COUPLE
Fact. "Just tune in to what this place has got to offer, 'cause we may never be here again." Sums up that time period. To a T.
So in love ❤ just belonged together
I watched Valerie's cooking show Sunday and she still lights up when she mentioned his name !! She never fell out of love for him. And Ed for her.
Yep, she still loves him. Even though she married and divorced someone else, her heart belongs to Eddie always and forever.
😢
Valerie has openly admitted that Eddie will only be her one true love in life --- they just couldn't live together because of Ed's addiction issues 😢
Nostalgia is a helluva drug...
I love her cooking show.
Oh man, they looked like they were made for each other! It broke my heart when he died, he had the sweetest smile I think I've ever seen. RIP EVH ❤
AGREED 🎸💔🥀😭
Another great man addicted. God bless.
He certainly did.
Every concert footage and video always showed how much he loved his music and performing. He never looked like he was just going through the motions like so many musicians do. Btw, does anyone know if he ever did eat a brown M&M? Now I'm really dating myself, 😂 lol
@@tonyasmom hahahaha 👍💯 I can Totally Agree with you about watching him in Concert....saw VH 4 times and each show was AMAZING!! ♥️♥️♥️ BUT....Sadly we lost 1 of My Heroes!! 💔😭🥀🎸
They were so in love in the 80's they literally couldn't stop kissing and smiling at each other! They reminded me a lot of how couples were back then --- the 80's seemed to be about wanting to be in love and celebrate being in love, you can hear it in the songs and see it in the movies of that decade. These days, I see young couples walking down the street and they barely hold hands, and never kiss or smile at each other and share laughs. It's really sad what this world has become --- but I'm just glad I was a teen in the 80's and saw the good times, and I really thank the super talented Eddie Van Halen for providing the soundtrack to my life back then. RIP, King Edward --- the King of Ten Fingers and Six Strings!
preach, completelty agree!!!
Loved your comment! Couldn't agree more..long live EVH/the 80s/Rock & Roll/Heavy Metal/Gen X!
Well said
80s were the best! Music, TV, Movies, Cars, Lifestyle....everything ❤
Thank You, so true
Best celebrity couple ever! I don’t think they ever stopped loving each other. I think Eddie’s lifestyle just wore Valerie out, but she loved him just as strong to the day he died.
Exactly it's tough on us living hard and even tougher on our loved ones.Great comment.
Val said they were never really in love, it was more puppy love.... she said because they were so young and immature when they got together.., they both cheated on each other, Val always said they made better friends than lovers
My thoughts exactly. I think they should've stayed together
I believe I read that she stated in an interview that if he would have survived his cancer they would have gotten back together. He was and always be her Knight In Shining Armor
I thought it was because of his drug use and also that he wouldn’t stop smoking - even after he got oral cancer and lost part of his tongue. I adored them as a couple.
Such a beautiful love story. You don’t even need the context/history, you can just see it in their faces. Brought tears to my eyes.
You should read Valerie's book. It will bring tears to your eyes. They were soulmates.
I read her book too. It was very sad..for all three of them. They adore Wolf SO much. I miss Eddie, but I feel like he watches them, always. 💔❤️🩹♥️
@@annahanguiano8931 He was cheating on her night & day!
She captured his heart..that says alot to the literally greatest guitar player alive before❤❤❤
Beautiful love story??? He became an alcoholic, both constantly cheated, had physical fights, and ended in divorce. Yup... beautiful alright.
Two young kids who fell in love, went their separate ways but maintained a everlasting connection......true soul mates.
Yes
She also used drugs and drank a lot. It is documented and i think in her book she says so.
Let’s view it as this: they met in a not typical way, fell in love instantly, their souls connected forever, spent ages together through the good and very rough and bad times(which were many!), had a unique and great son that is an excellent human being and very intelligent, talented, polite, social, calm and educated, shared their life, talent and wealth, visited sick or less fortunate people(including schools, hospitals and fellow musicians), contributed to society, left a legacy and more.
I have always followed their many stories, ups & downs and all, but what many of us fail to grasp, realize or admit is that actually and in a biiiiig, great part of life’s equation and balance…drugs(including alcohol, which is also a drug) literally destroyed them. The amount of constant alcohol and smokes eddie consumed since he was young(he said so himself) is ASTONISHING. Few humans can survive that input and he did, it cost him health, physically, part of his tongue, teeth(read sammy’s book and look at that era’s videos), mental anguish, many bad decisions, some not so great moments, strained the marriage…
He really was addicted to many bad things(all documented, i’m not making stuff up), also his brother(i met him here in puerto rico, all of them, except eddie because he was too drunk. Sammy himself said to me to not bother and save my time because he was gone. And i have 2 witnesses) they even had a wing at the betty ford clinic for them. That is on a whole other level.
The stupid and useless drugs and the constant use and abuse just took it’s toll on their unique and beautiful relation.
He admired her, what she did, who she was and who she stood for, talent, her roots and origin, her smarts, beauty, wit, humor, family, her whole package and story. And he adored her and was his queen, put her on a pedestal, they were a perfect match.
But…drugs. Damned drug abuse. Facts.
They were so cute together and really loved each other
If they were soul mates tge relationship wouldn't have ended.
@@j.ochsenreiter But they reconciled just before Ed passed away…..She was with him on the 6th October 2020 when he passed on.
The music world seems a little more empty without him. There will never be another Eddie. RIP.
Agree
💯agree
He was the Best Guiter player ever.
SO SAD OUR MEDICAL SYSTEM AFTER DECADES WITH STILL NO PROGRESS AGAINST CANCERS COULD STILL NOT SAVE HIM.EDDY WAS THE HEART OF ROCK AND ROLL.RIP BROTHER.
I don’t care what anyone says or think because that kind of love between two people is FOREVER ❤❤
There is only one other couple in Music who seemed to love each other and belong together as much as Val and Eddie-- Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley. You could just see the love on their faces and in their body language and in their smiles that they smiled for no one else. I don't understand why both couples split. Lots of pressure, problems, it's a rough lifestyle. Still, so glad that they found and had that real deep love connection with someone. That kind of love is hard to find for anyone, but for people whose musical careers are their lives, it seems like it would be even harder.
yes, but they should never have married anyone else, because they end up hurting others
@@leahartlee29 Seek therapy! The Pedo King of Pop/Drugs & the life long addict/cult member--yep-true "love"! Cannot believe u actually believe what u commented!
But it only lasted until 2007

Hello Diane, how are you?
This made me smile so big and cry like a baby simultaneously. They were so beautiful together. R.I.P. EVH 💖
Yes back when things were a little simpler, there was VH and all us kids were rockin to it!!!!
I am always speechless, even with a picture collage Edwards spirit shines so bright and Val’s heart is to be honored, the fact that Val was with Edward in his final moments goes to show you what kind of a wonderful soul she was and always will be. 😢

@@iliafigueroa4820 I’m not denying anything however when I here about people’s flaws, I am forced to look at mine , and when I see my flaws I remember no one has any room to talk period that is why I don’t make comments about anyone’s flaws but my own thank you so very much for your beautiful comment.
Man, I just loved seeing those two together. G-damn I don't think I've EVER seen another musician or celebrity that smiled as much as Eddie did. It's so friggin infectious ha
Real Love doesn't lie, and when a man is really IN LOVE, he can't hide his happiness. You can see it in his smile! Her prescence appears to have lit him up, and it showed on his face. At least in the beginning, it looked that way. I think she was his muse and inspired him in his music. Every Man needs that spark to ignite his heart, fuel his passion, and catch the flame of his purpose. This song is, and will always be, pure 🔥. I loved seeing these two together and love Van Halen's Mu🎼ic! 💖
Yes. Those two just made sense together.
I’m 59yrs, was talking w/ my son who is 37 yrs just yesterday about Eddie- that smile! Such talent!!! But truly his infectious smile and joy is what so many fans of his music associate his name to.
You got that right. She went everywhere together with him.

They were THE “IT” COUPLE! The coolest 80s couple! I adored them individually and together. ❤️🔥 Val and Ed forever! ❤️🔥
Two Very special individuals who deserved each other for as long as they could handle the Heat. The got to create a very special child who will hopefully portray the best of them both
She was and is gorgeous! I saw Van Halen live in Rockford, Illinois in 1986 on the "Live without a Net" tour. BTO opened for them. After BTO got done playing I walked around the arena while the sets were changed. I walked just next to the sound booth as Valerie was walking up into it. I was about 6 ft. away from her. I had a crush on her from her days on "One Day at a Time". Seeing her right there was awesome. She was stunning in that 80's hair and makeup! It was one of the best concerts I've ever seen, and I've seen many over the years. I feel very fortunate to have been there that night.
RIP EVH Legend!!! Gone but never forgotten.
There was something mystical about these two; even if it was only how much they resembled each other. There was an extra hand in them finding each other. They were rock and roll cool together.
I think they were the same person in past life.
This compilation was soooo sweet. It brought tears to my eyes. Loved them together. RIP Eddie
I cried also reminded me of a sweet lost love RIP Aaron 💔
Same feeling we Lost Eddie..My guitar hero.
I remember one night in 1985 when me and my Mom were watching one of Valerie's made-for-TV movies and my Mom said "I love all her movies" and then I remembered how much my Mom didn't like all the rock bands I listened to like Van Halen, Motley Crue, and Ratt and I said "guess who she is married to?" and my Mom said "who?" and I said "she's married to my hero Eddie Van Halen" and my Mom nearly passed out she was so surprised LOL
Wolfie sure got the talent from his dad. They were one of the “IT” couples in the 80’s. At the height of both of their careers. Like so many divorced couples there’s still love between them despite being unable to live together. She and Wolfie helped EVH while he was battling a challenging cancer.
I’m afraid he was a chain smoker and it finally caught up to him. 💔RIP E VH! 🙏

Beautiful happy couple I love all the smiles and kisses. I wish theirs was a happier ending. RIP Eddie Van Halen. ❤

So nice of you.

He was absolutely adorable with the best God given talent ever. They rocked the world together. Rest in Peace Edward x
They were Sooo in love!! Heartbreaking that they couldn’t make it through to the end, but they were together at the end of Ed’s life because Love evolves but doesn’t disappear! After Eddie’s passing Valerie spoke lovingly of Ed’s Smile and she was so right - he LIT up the world with that Smile!! 💞🌹❤️
where have all the good times gone ?
I hope she sees this. It’s such a beautiful testament of their very best of times, and it’s very clear they never stopped loving one another. ❤
Their love never, ever died. They were truly the love of each other's lives and it is so evident in every one of those clips. Wish Edward had not taken the road to such a dark side. But even through that, their love endured. Massive respect for them as a couple! ❤

@@iliafigueroa4820 100% true! Their love story was not tainted by drug use; it was marinated in it. Take out the drugs and alcohol and I bet they would have been together truly until death did them part. And in many ways, they were.
I grew up with both of them. I loved them back then and I STILL Love them both!!!!! I can't explain the feeling I have when thinking of my 2 favorite celebrities❤
So much love between them ❤❤
These two were definitely America's sweetheart couple. The deep love, respect, and life long bond they shared is so evident when you see them together. Their faces light up. Blessings to their beautiful boy throughout his life. 🙏🏼💜
The cutest couple who never stopped loving each other. Glad they kept in touch. And his music was great, too.
I love both of them! I feel sorry for Valerie! She had a love so great that she can never find another! I lost my husband 11 years ago. People ask me about dating, and my answer is this “sure, do you know where I can find another Frank?” I can’t imagine being with another man besides my husband! We got married at 18, right of high school, and he passed away after 47 years, 10 months of marriage (almost 48 years) and I still love him as much today than when we got married! I am still married in my mind!! I am a single 76 year old woman who cries almost every day when I think of him! Sorry to get so sappy, but the Lord gets me through!
PS to my previous post, Valerie, I believe, has the same kind of love for Eddie as I had for my husband!
She is still trying to act like she's a teenager. Time to act your age Val. Not so cutie pie anymore and quit crying on camera.
@@melissagregoire9278hope you’re okay.
I lost my husband 10 yrs ago and everything you wrote is my story .I'll never stop loving my husband and also feel like I'm still married to him. ❤

So much love and affection between Ed and Val in their younger days. You can tell they were totally smitten with each other. Of course, there was some dark moments in the marriage, since I read Valerie's book and she details various affairs and drug use by both of them back in the 80's.
Beautiful couple !! ❤❤ forever in our hearts 💕 RIP EVH ! 🎸
Valerie definitely is a sweetheart.... gorgeous with 10 pack charisma and a smile to melt icebergs!😅
They never stopped loving one another even after divorcing. They remained friends through everything. Honestly, I think they were soulmates.
I think it's great that she provided comfort and support to him during his illness and at the end of his life. RIP Eddie. You're gone but never forgotten.

Everytime I watch the videos makes me cry happy tears love the music always brings back so many memories of my husband and I still married 40 years of my heart.❤
Yep!!! Me too‼️♥️
Okay I'm 55 and I was in love with Val from the very beginning of her career.
Always put her up on the pedestal with the gorgeous women of the day.
And of course being a teenager growing up in the '80s Eddie Van Halen was a god to me.
I worked out a lot had long blonde hair like David Lee Roth and try like hell to play guitar.
But never got anywhere lol.
Anyhow just ironic how one of the most beautiful women that admire growing up and one of my rock heroes got married.
I cannot tell you how much I miss those days.
I know Eddie wasn't the best person but he had a big heart.
And Val was beautiful on the inside and out.
Good video thank you reminds me of being young
I miss this kind of music❤️❤️
Me too it's always great to hear that music
@@jimmysaiz5027 amen to that☺️
He was my favorite in Van Halen. His cute smile and sweet personality. Would love to watch all those interviews now.
Oh yes Habor, how are you?
These songs certainly bring back a much better time for me.
We were lucky! This time in music was awesome, ☮️🎼
They were an awesome couple! They were made for each other! R.I.P. Eddie!😢❤
The best Rock n Roll couple in the 80’s for me !! Made my teen years that much more special 🎈
When Eddie and Valerie first started dating they had to be the cutest couple that ever got together in a photograph or video screen. Their pictures were everywhere! It’s really nice to see those times again. They both look so happy!♥️
Feel like my entire teenage years died the same moment when I read that text from Wolfe. 😢 yes I’m 51 now. Miss ya Ed. VH the Best ever. No one could touch them and still can’t hold a candle to them in rock music. Love Dave and Sammy. By the way they should of never let Sammy go.
Agreed! I was a sophomore in HS when their first album came out, and we were all thinking, wtf?!
Saw them with Dave twice in the early days, 3 times during the Sammy years and then later when Dave came back and I agree with you, should have never gotten rid of Sammy.
The early Dave years was great, great music but the Sammy years brought out a different more unique EVH… his playing was so crisp.
And that uniqueness continued until the end.
@@2linepass1 I was a sophomore in HS as well and a new kid from California brought the album over for me to listen to. Tore the top of my head off. That was my introduction to VH. I had the first two albums on 8-track and a badass sound system in my car and would just blast them driving around. Running With The Devil through a Jensen sound system? You could hear me coming a half a block away. Saw them twice in the early days as well, and as much as I liked Sammy, VH wasn't the same to me without Dave. But man they framed my teenage years.
@@zyrrhos ahhhhh the 8 track cassettes.
When I got my license I had saved up for a down payment for a new car, and my mom helped me. I bought a 1981 gran prix, brand new off the lot.
8 track am/fm stereo. I thought I was king, jamming to VH, AC/DC, etc with my sun roof open.
Cruising up and down by the mall to see if we could pick up girls.
Here I am 60 now, happily married 3 adult daughters but I think back to those times and laugh, and I miss those days so much.
I listen to 70’s on 7 SiriusXM a lot and it brings back memories of growing up in those days.
We had such good music back then didn’t we?!
The music now sucks.
@@2linepass1 As I get older and see what this country has become and where it's headed, I become more grateful that I grew up when I did. Always wondered if the Roman people who were alive during the fall of their empire were aware of it, and now I think I have the answer lol
I bought a modified '73 black Impala for a $1,000 when I turned 16. And when I say modified, one of its features was rerouted windshield washer lines into the dash so you could fill the reservoir with your favorite beverage, if you know what I mean. Oh yeah, and that kick ass Jensen sound system.
Definitely not a lot of great music out there, you really have to go look for it. I really like Radiohead, but they're more 90s/early 2000s, and I like acts like The Shins, Beach House, Sufjan Stevens, Damien Jurado, and Tame Impala, but their music is heavily 60s-70s inspired. Not much else really.
Do you subscribe to Rick Beato's channel? He's our age.
@@zyrrhos NICE, regarding the impala. And cars today aren’t made the way they used to be.
And prices?! For example, my 81 grand prize, fully loaded cost me just over $9 after taxes. I remember my payments were just over $80 a month.
Last July, I bought a 2022 dodge Ram, fully loaded..6 cylinder turbo, after taxes it was just over $49k
The hemi was going for $62
I didn’t want the hemi, my dodge that I traded in was a hemi and with gas prices I wanted to turn it down a notch.
Oh, and payments are $535 a month lease…
Big difference from the 70’s.
Like you said, I’m glad I grew up and did my high school years in the late 70’s.
Carefree, and no hate!!
Yes Jensen speakers, I remember then well and of course, don’t forget the eq’s we’d hook up separately to get more sound.
Music in the 90’s and 2000s were good, breaking Benjamin, shine down, Pearl Jam, sound garden, three days Grace… good music.
If things don’t change in the next year or so, it’s going to get really bad.
No, never heard of him but I’ll subscribe… thanks brother!!
They are so darn cute together! That was real love for sure.
❤ love these 2 together!❤❤ miss you Eddie, love you Valerie and Wolfie!!
Valerie and Eddie, were a very attractive and talented couple!!
I really loved them both together.
Valerie, is an inspiring and excellent, actress and Eddie, very excellent, inspiring, original, influential, guitar player.
Eddie rocks !!
He will always be remembered.
🎤🎸🎵🎹🥁
Life is better with music.
Brings back so many memories of the 80’s they were adorable…
The depth of Sammy’s vocals expresses the love between the family man can he sing? Brought Van Halen into another stratosphere
Sammys the best but I do behind blue eyes better than him
I just need a karaoke machine because I can’t remember the words and when they come in
True love never dies
They were a beautiful couple, and u can see how deeply they loved one another! I wish things had turned out differently ; this was a tragic breakup, but they were still there for each other! Love truly does transcend everything & bares all things out, even onto the edge of doom! Eddie is truly missed! I loved his music & his dimples & smile just melt your heart! This was also they glory days of pop culture, & the world was in a much happier place in the glorious 80's & 90's. I'm so glad I grew up in those glorious eras! 💜U Eddie & Valerie! 🌟🎁☀️🥰
Thier Spark Was Magical .
It Was a Beautiful Love Story , but Nothing Ever Last Forever .
Thier Union Produced a Very Talented Young Musician Who's Forging His Own Musical Path .
I'd Like to Thank Whoever Put This on RUclips.
Thank You .
When I Watched This I Got Those Same Happy Feeling I Had Back Then .
This video is AMAZING 😻🤩!! THEY ARE ICONIC! Very special to all the 80s babies ❤
Indeed!! We were all on that track of life!! Almost feels like Love was more pure back then in a way. Simpler times!
They were so adorable together... So much chemistry between them...
One of the most beautiful love songs ever. Thank your Van Halen..
They are my all time favorite celebrity couple. They could’ve been the kids next door- so real, so clearly comfortable to the core with each other. They physical looked like the make and female version of the same person.
Eddie was said to be the greatest guitarists ever by Les Paul that's enough for me! RIP Eddie
These two were totally meant to be together ❤ Marriage is never perfect.. regardless of who it is . We all live for love even when it can be hard. Your Soulmate" .. That's when you know it's forever like it was for Val and Eddie. He still loves her from beyond, as she still loves him 💕 RIP Eddie! You are deeply loved and missed!!
I think what gets me so emotional about seeing Edward and Val like this, especially with "Love Comes Walking In" playing, I remember those days when we were all young, the smiles and laughter, all that great music, the possibility for the future, being in love, loud, proud, and nary a cloud....when I look around and see what people have become--the cheap way people live their lives, the destruction of all that we've ever known by a group of people who want everyone to live a miserable political life in chains...seeing Edward & Val so happy in those times, makes me miss Edward alot--but makes me bleed for us all and what's been taken from us...
It may have been short, but those 2 packed in a couple lifetimes together. . . And looked totally in love.
RIP Eddie the all time greatest guitarist! My nephew recently jammed like Ed at a social gathering, it was Epic!
Ed & Val accomplished more in one life-time than most do if they were given 100 life-times. Do the best you can with your God-given talent. We love and miss you, Ed!
99.9% of us don't have God-given talent --- luckily, Eddie discovered his at age 9 and ran with it and it paid off handsomely for him!
The 80s were a Romantic Era. The clothes, hair, movies, and music. It was a great time to be young and in love. I was in love so many times in the 80s, and loved back. I would listen to Love Walks In, because a guy that I dated, who moonlighted as a DJ would play it as soon as I walked in to where he was playing. I miss those years so much.
We were all happier in our youth . Good times and good loves .... Life doesn't stop. Thanks for some good memories
Sorry Dan, not everybody was “happier in their youth.”
@@jimmy5634 Jimmy, I had a rough youth also, but I can look at this and remember the good times, at 60 it is alot harder now!
Thank you for this tribute to two of the nicest people who deserved to be together. Ed was just a troubled genius and hard to live with, but she did really love him until the end. Look up the story about the birds in her back yard after he died.
She also used drugs and drank a lot. It is documented and i think in her book she says so.
Let’s view it as this: they met in a not typical way, fell in love instantly, their souls connected forever, spent ages together through the good and very rough and bad times(which were many!), had a unique and great son that is an excellent human being and very intelligent, talented, polite, social, calm and educated, shared their life, talent and wealth, visited sick or less fortunate people(including schools, hospitals and fellow musicians), contributed to society, left a legacy and more.
I have always followed their many stories, ups & downs and all, but what many of us fail to grasp, realize or admit is that actually and in a biiiiig, great part of life’s equation and balance…drugs(including alcohol, which is also a drug) literally destroyed them. The amount of constant alcohol and smokes eddie consumed since he was young(he said so himself) is ASTONISHING. Few humans can survive that input and he did, it cost him health, physically, part of his tongue, teeth(read sammy’s book and look at that era’s videos), mental anguish, many bad decisions, some not so great moments, strained the marriage…
He really was addicted to many bad things(all documented, i’m not making stuff up), also his brother(i met him here in puerto rico, all of them, except eddie because he was too drunk. Sammy himself said to me to not bother and save my time because he was gone. And i have 2 witnesses) they even had a wing at the betty ford clinic for them. That is on a whole other level.
The stupid and useless drugs and the constant use and abuse just took it’s toll on their unique and beautiful relation.
He admired her, what she did, who she was and who she stood for, talent, her roots and origin, her smarts, beauty, wit, humor, family, her whole package and story. And he adored her and was his queen, put her on a pedestal, they were a perfect match.
But…drugs. Damned drug abuse. Facts.
They were such a beautiful couple😢❤
The power couple of my youth (the 80's), watching this makes me realize to appreciate the smiles and laughs all the more. I watch her show on Food Network and I am a 52 year old guy. Love ya Valerie. Stay safe and Blessed.
Time goes by way too quickly I’m 71 years old and not in the best of health. Enjoy life while you can people, it’s later than you think.❤
That is beautiful. The best videos I have ever seen of both of them. I have an autograph Frankenstein. Given to me by Eddie VanHalen. In the parking lot of guitar centers in Hollywood. The old guitar centers. 1997...cowboy john norco California horse Town USA 🇺🇸. I still have that guitar. Thank you brother
I remember Eddie saying check out my new wolf gang guitar it's coming out soon. Hay man I will always be with you just press play ▶️ ❤️
How much u want 4 it
Two people who loved, respected and protected each other...
Always loved Eddie and Valerie ❤❤❤
I love these two together ❤ They ARE soul mates..forever.
Hello Carol, how are you?
They looked at each other with so much love
They had what most never find, they had that deep love that never died. This footage is sad to watch, Rip.. to the best guitar player 🎸 that ever lived.
Whichever lineup, Van Halen was just awesome. They brought great Rock music to all of us. Many great memories of seeing them live.
I had a big smile watching this because you could just see how much in love they were. I know they never stopped loving each other. ❤️❤️

I guess his death hit me like alot of people took John Lennons death. All i know is a man i never met, but seen many times, touched me in my soul like no other. His passing hurt like a family member or a friends you grew up with. He was there when i got my heart broke for the first time. He was there when my wife said yes, and there when my kids were born. He was introduced and beloved by both my sons and has made an impression on our lives that will never be forgotten. Valerie being his wife made us all feel a closeness to her as well. I will look for him in my afterlife, and hope to listen to his phenomenal talent with my lord and savior Jesus Christ. I say this because i know in my heart his talent was devine. Angels rock out to his riffs im sure.God makes no mistakes.
That was awesome ❤️🙏
The iconic guitar player, a genius ❤🙏🎸
Perfect soulmates💜...true love endures thru thick n thin🙏🌈
They both knew how to play to the camera and smile so jovially. I am glad they were amicable and good parents.
They were such a cute couple, I love them both ❤❤ and I miss Eddie 😞😞
Sweet and sad at the same time. What a wonderful couple!!
Definitely a Rock Star super union. Beautiful footage, wonderful time to be alive.
Good Italian girl from Detroit meets bad boy from Pasadena and it was love at first sight --- they make romance movies about people like Eddie and Valerie ❤❤
That's it, exactly.
Who wouldn't want to go back in time and relive our past relationships and see if we could be better today.
What a great song 🎧 Eddie is truly missed 🥲
It was so sad when he passed. They look like God put them on Earth for each other. I was also sad when they divorced. My heart goes out to Valerie and her family and to Eddie’s family and friends as well. May God bless them all.❤
True love. You can't break it. Mabey he married another as she did too but true love never leaves the soul.
I agree SO much…
You can see the love in their eyes, and Eddie had the most beautiful smile, that could light up a room! I SO wish they would have stayed together and worked it out, but at least they stayed friends!
Two souls intertwined for all eternity🦋🦋
THAT'S awesome! Seeing THEM beautiful couple & Wolfgang w his parents
