The Darkness’ frontman – who bears no relation to the late Foo Fighters drummer – headed up a four-song set with The Coattail Riders
The band started writing ‘Eddie’ the day after Van Halen died in 2020, with frontman Anthony Kiedis calling the late rock god “one of a kind”
It was named after the entire band at the request of the Van Halen family
When asked if "a certain singer with three initials" was to blame, Van Halen replied: "Do your research"
The guitarist had been a supporter of the organisation for over a decade
"I can't explain the feelings Ed and I had for each other"
The late guitarist signed off on the design of the figure before his death last year
Funds for the memorial was raised by fans
"I’m not OK. I don’t think I’ll ever be OK"
"Yeah. This actually happened"
