Here is a podcast Zander is a part of, in which he talk about the loss of Edward Van Halen in the latest episode.

Rock Is Dead Two rock fans and professional broadcasters talk about the state of rock and what got us to where we are now. - Music podcast from United States

It's been such a rough day.

For me, Van Halen was MY band from the beginning. They shaped my own personal music discovery in 1978 - and that discovery is what eventually lead to a life of presenting and celebrating rock on the radio for over 30 years. I am heartbroken right along with every single VH fan all over the world. I, we, can't thank you enough Eddie. You gave us music that can never be taken away.

This is the way I closed every single Rockin' 80's radio show, and how I will close out this day, October 6, 2020
