Memorials grow in Eddie Van Halen's adopted hometown
PASADENA, Calif. — The childhood home of Eddie Van Halen and a sidewalk outside a nearby liquor store have been turned into memorials to the legendary rock guitarist in his adopted hometown near Los Angeles.
The shrines began popping up shortly after Van Halen’s death from cancer at age 65 earlier in the week. The tributes have continued to grow and attract a steady stream of visitors day and night.
Van Halen was born in the Netherlands, and moved to Pasadena, California, with his parents and older brother Alex when he was 7.
