Wolfgang Van Halen took to Twitter to take TMZ to task for releasing details of Eddie Van Halen's death certificate.

The gossip/celebrity news outlet shared the listed cause of death of the late guitar icon was a stroke, which led to Wolfgang to tweet simply, "TMZ is scum."

After someone took issue with Wolfgang's comment, he replied, "Oh get f---ed AND blocked. I’ve got every right in the world to call people scum who release private information about my family. F--- them and f--- you...If you f--- with my family, especially my father who is unable to defend himself, you f--- with me. It’s my job to do so now and I’ll never stop. So if you’ve got a problem with that, you can either learn how to get over it or unfollow me."

Wolfgang made comments about social media recently on Talkin' Rock with Meltdown saying, "...It's a necessary evil. These days, it's definitely important to take some sanity breaks, but I think I've hit my stride and how I deal with the insanity of it."
