The two often played music together, as Wolfgang officially joined the band Van Halen alongside his father and uncle Alex in 2006.

Wolfgang's mom, actress Valerie Bertinelli, also took a stroll down memory lane, posting a series of throwback photos on social media highlighting some major moments in her and Van Halen's relationship, from Christmas festivities to spending time with their son.

Van Halen was married to Bertinelli from 1981 to 2001 before they separated. The pair divorced five years later, in 2006.

In his announcement on Tuesday, Wolfgang told fans that Van Halen had "lost his long and arduous battle with cancer."

"He was the best father I could ever ask for. Every moment I’ve shared with him on and off stage was a gift," the musician added. "My heart is broken and I don’t think I’ll ever fully recover from this loss. I love you so much, Pop."
