Died of cancer. Truly an innovator in the guitar world.
RIP Eddie.

Right with ya.

Wow! The latest installment in the book of “2020 Sucks!”. And, it’s getting to be a long book. He’s a true legend.

Turn-up the volume (all the way, baby!) and enjoy this VanHalen blast from the 80's:

R.I.P. Eddie.

Ironically just saw him on "Two and a Half Men" rerun the other night.

It appears that EVH had cancer of the tongue.

He had known risk factors for that (alcohol, smoking, etc).

HPV is a HUGE risk factor for oral/throat cancer these days. More and more adults (of all ages) are being diagnosed.

It is a HORRIFIC way to die.

There is a vaccine for HPV now.

It has been shown to help prevent cervical cancer.

It may also help prevent oral/throat cancers.

Please consider encouraging your kids/grandkids to get this vaccine series.

FWIW
