Eddie Van Halen, along with his brother Alex, Mark Stone, and David Lee Roth, formed the iconic rock band Van Halen in 1972. Initially named Mammoth, the band was renamed Van Halen after Michael Anthony joined in 1974. Eddie's death on October 6, 2020, at age 65, led to the band's dissolution. Throughout Van Halen's history, the brothers Eddie and Alex were the band's only constant members, making Eddie's death particularly devastating for Alex.
