Wolfgang Van Halen Tributes His Dad Eddie With Debut Solo Video

17 November 2020

Wolfgang Van Halen released a music video for "Distance", the debut song from his solo band MANNOTH WVH, and the new clip is dedicated to his legendary father, Eddie Van Halen.

The debut album from the MANNOTH WVH will be released next year and was put on hold so that Wolfgang could focus on his helping his father after they learned that his cancer had returned.

Wolfgang had this to say, "As my pop continued to struggle with various health issues, I was imagining what my life would be like without him and how terribly I'd miss him. While the song is incredibly personal, I think anyone can relate to the idea of having a profound loss in their life."

He says that the song "Distance" is an open letter to his father, and was one of Eddie's favorite tracks, which inspired Wolfgang to released it as his first solo offering.

The video features family home movies and some of the proceeds from the single will be donated to the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation.
