Alex Van Halen took a moment to wish his late brother, Eddie Van Halen, a happy birthday today on what would've been his 67th birthday.

In a brief post simply titled "Remembering You, Ed" on Van Halen's website, Alex wrote, "Hey Ed, Happy Birthday! May your light never dim. Love you, miss you and btw...Wolf is killin' it."

Alex Van Halen has been making a point to pay tribute to his late brother since his death in October 2020 following a long bout with cancer. In May 2021, Alex took a moment on his own birthday to share, "First birthday without you, Ed. The view from my drum set will never be the same. VH forever!"
