Eddie Van Halen, guitarist and founding member of the hugely successful rock band named after him and his drummer brother, has died of cancer, his son said on Twitter on Tuesday. He was 65. Van Halen, born in 1955 in Amsterdam and raised in Pasadena, California, formed the namesake rock band along with brother Alex, bassist Michael Anthony and singer David Lee Roth in 1974. The hugely successful rock band went on to sell more than 80m records worldwide with five multi-platinum albums, their popularity spurred in part by Van Halen’s innovative and aerobic guitar playing. The group weathered a split with frontman Roth in 1984 – the same year as their first and only number one single, Jump, was released
RIP
