Keep a box of tissues nearby before you watch this video. Wolfgang Van Halen has dedicated his debut single “Distance” to his late father Eddie Van Halen. The video is filled with footage of Wolfie from infancy to adulthood and showcases how much of an influence his father had on his life. The name of Wolfie’s band is, “Mammoth WVH.” Van Halen was called “Mammoth” before the band became a household name.
Distance was one of Eddie’s favorite songs from the as-yet-untitled record, which will be released by Explorer1 MusicGroup.
