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.
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.
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!! 💔😭🥀🎸
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!
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 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!
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.
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 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.
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.

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! 🙏

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
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.
can’t believe eddie is gone 😢… but what an amazing life !! and those two.. what a beautiful couple man !! looked so so happy together. rest in peace Eddie, you’re loved by many 🙏🏼🩵
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. 😢

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.

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...
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!! 💞🌹❤️
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
What a wonderful video. Love walks in will always be one of my favorite Van Halen songs. We were fortunate to be born in a era of when rock giants blessed us with their music. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and sharing it with us.
@@kerzytibok3211Do what thou wilst,said Mr Crowley.and these two did.they found a way to continue their love,and to overcome their or rather Eddy's problematic behaviour.the rock and roll lifestyle leaves you with demons.but their chain remained unbroken and they still loved each other just the same. Death does not separate you,life does that,many waters cannot quench it or put it out.that is the mystery.peace ineffable has descended on them now,but their loves and the music lustres on.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
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!♥️
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 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. 🙏🏼💜
She wanted a divorce bcuz she couldn’t watch him destroy himself with the drugs any longer. Had it not been for the drugs, they would’ve stayed together. She’s stated that in numerous videos with him present, and without him being with her in the interviews. It’s hard as hell to watch the person you love so much, destroy not only their life, but the lives of those around them as well. (I’ve been through it) They we’re Soul Mates. Soul Mates are very capable of having unconditional love. It takes true love to overcome that as well. They had such a deep connection and understanding of each other. They truly had respect, and love for each other. They were also best friends.❤️🙏🏼🥰. RIP Eddie, you are so missed! ❤️🕊️
It was cigarettes, not drugs. He smoked through his first diagnose with tongue cancer in 2000 and continued to smoke as he had one third of his tongue removed. He continued to smoke after he was told that the cancer had started to spread to his esophagus and throat. He just refused to stop smoking and Valerie couldn’t take it anymore. He was the love of her life.
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!!
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.
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!!
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 ❤❤
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
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.❤

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! 🌟🎁☀️🥰
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. 🙏
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.
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!! 💔😭🥀🎸
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.
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
I totally agree
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.
@@juliekim738
No, I didn’t. This is not my channel.
no doubt
Yes looked very much in love.
Agree 100%
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
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 don't cry often, but here goes a box of Kleenex. Rest in peace Ed. God speed to Val and Wolf.
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.
God bless you, Eddie and Valerie and rest in peace Eddie. Valerie, you’re a beautiful woman. ❤
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.
@@jmzochsnrtr But they reconciled just before Ed passed away…..She was with him on the 6th October 2020 when he passed on.
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. ❤
❤😢🙏🍀
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.
My fav couple of all time. This was so heartwarming! RIP Eddie.
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.

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
I’m pretty sure his death hit her way harder than she ever imagined it would 💔
Hello Diane, how are you?
True Love. A Prince and a Princess. Forever Wolfgang.
Crying now. For Eddie, Valerie, Wolfgang...and also for my late wife. I miss you so much, baby. Until we meet again, across the Milky Way.
So nice of you.
🥲❤️
😔💔
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! 🙏

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
So much love between them ❤❤
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! ❤

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...
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 love how they look at each other with love ❤️
I am so glad that they had love ❤️
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
Yes they truly loved each other, it's so obvious. You never see that love with stars.
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!! 💞🌹❤️
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.
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.
This made me smile so big and cry like a baby simultaneously. They were so beautiful together. R.I.P. EVH 💖
Eddie was said to be the greatest guitarists ever by Les Paul that's enough for me! RIP Eddie
He couldn't help but fall for such a sweet wonderful person 💞
RIP EVH Legend!!! Gone but never forgotten.
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.
These songs certainly bring back a much better time for me.
We were lucky! This time in music was awesome, ☮️🎼
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.

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.
That was awesome ❤️🙏
This is epic. Sounds just as good 30 years later.
I love these two together ❤ They ARE soul mates..forever.
Hello Carol, how are you?
They were such a cute couple, I love them both ❤❤ and I miss Eddie 😞😞
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!
They were such a beautiful couple😢❤
What a wonderful video. Love walks in will always be one of my favorite Van Halen songs. We were fortunate to be born in a era of when rock giants blessed us with their music. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and sharing it with us.
I always liked the song, even when my friends were saying "Van Halen playing synth is really stupid"
@@kerzytibok3211Do what thou wilst,said Mr Crowley.and these two did.they found a way to continue their love,and to overcome their or rather Eddy's problematic behaviour.the rock and roll lifestyle leaves you with demons.but their chain remained unbroken and they still loved each other just the same. Death does not separate you,life does that,many waters cannot quench it or put it out.that is the mystery.peace ineffable has descended on them now,but their loves and the music lustres on.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
They were so adorable together... So much chemistry between them...
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. ❤
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!♥️
where have all the good times gone ?
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 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. 🙏🏼💜
He respected her so much he sleep with every woman he met, even before they were married.
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?
She wanted a divorce bcuz she couldn’t watch him destroy himself with the drugs any longer. Had it not been for the drugs, they would’ve stayed together. She’s stated that in numerous videos with him present, and without him being with her in the interviews. It’s hard as hell to watch the person you love so much, destroy not only their life, but the lives of those around them as well. (I’ve been through it) They we’re Soul Mates. Soul Mates are very capable of having unconditional love. It takes true love to overcome that as well. They had such a deep connection and understanding of each other. They truly had respect, and love for each other. They were also best friends.❤️🙏🏼🥰. RIP Eddie, you are so missed! ❤️🕊️
It was cigarettes, not drugs. He smoked through his first diagnose with tongue cancer in 2000 and continued to smoke as he had one third of his tongue removed. He continued to smoke after he was told that the cancer had started to spread to his esophagus and throat. He just refused to stop smoking and Valerie couldn’t take it anymore. He was the love of her life.
Maybe you are right with all your assumptions, but I wonder how can be so sure of knowing details which often not even the person her/himself knows.
@@MaryJane-bk9vj No assumptions. Everything I wrote is a fact that was documented and confirmed snd retold a million times.
this is really one best song ever! rip sir EDDIE BEEN MIST ! PRAISE WOLFY! AMEN I KNOW HOW FEEL LOSE DAD' I LOSE MINE IN 1977!!
Valerie definitely is a sweetheart.... gorgeous with 10 pack charisma and a smile to melt icebergs!😅
I was so excited when they married. I'd loved her on the entire run of One Day at a Time, and Eddie was so amazing and gorgeous.
They are so darn cute together! That was real love for sure.
The cutest couple who never stopped loving each other. Glad they kept in touch. And his music was great, too.
It may have been short, but those 2 packed in a couple lifetimes together. . . And looked totally in love.
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!!
Beautiful happy couple I love all the smiles and kisses. I wish theirs was a happier ending. RIP Eddie Van Halen. ❤
For me the best guitarist ever. Love ya mate❤❤❤❤
❤ love these 2 together!❤❤ miss you Eddie, love you Valerie and Wolfie!!
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.
Beautiful couple !! ❤❤ forever in our hearts 💕 RIP EVH ! 🎸
Definitely a Rock Star super union. Beautiful footage, wonderful time to be alive.
This couple will be together throughout eternity. A true love story.
How do you know?
As long as there are no drugs, alcohol or hookups & ONS in eternity, LOL
1 + 1 = #Drugs ! ... 😅
THAT'S awesome! Seeing THEM beautiful couple & Wolfgang w his parents
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!!
He was absolutely adorable with the best God given talent ever. They rocked the world together. Rest in Peace Edward x
Such a beautiful couple....
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.
Whoever created this tribute video, THANK YOU
They just had so much love for each other- they both loved to laugh, enjoyed each other- pure joy.
They looked at each other with so much love
RIP Eddie, glad they had such a blessed love. Wish they would have stayed together.
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‼️♥️
They were an awesome couple! They were made for each other! R.I.P. Eddie!😢❤
The video is beautiful yet so sad 😢 they were an awesome couple and even words can't describe how phenomenal Eddie was . RIP Eddie your are so missed.
I love this song. They made a cute couple. RIP Eddie you are missed very much. ❤
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
True love never dies
Even though they had been through so many ups and downs…You could tell they truly loved each other and were soul mates. RIP Eddie ❤🙏
Addiction rules families.
I wonder if she sees these videos.?
My favorite celebrity couple ever. We miss you Ed ..😢
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.❤
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. ❤️❤️
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.
Together they were great,happy. Such gorgeous couple .❤😢
All of this, she was there until the end. Beautiful couple 💑.
The iconic guitar player, a genius ❤🙏🎸
Magic, chemistry, lightning in a bottle whatever you want to call it they had it. Miss you EVH you are the Mozart of my generation.
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! 🌟🎁☀️🥰
the coolest freaking dude ever created ❤️
Perfect soulmates💜...true love endures thru thick n thin🙏🌈
