Guitar prodigy Wolfgang Van Halen uncovers his own star power
DESCENDING FROM ROCK royalty can be a blessing and a curse – something Wolfgang Van Halen is well aware of. The son of the late, great guitar icon, Eddie Van Halen, Wolfgang joined Van Halen as bassist when he was just 15, has played with Tremonti, received a Grammy nomination in 2021 and had a custom guitar named after him by his father. But on the flipside, success has come with an unreasonable level of scrutiny. Online commentators have questioned his every move, dismissively chalking it up to his famous parentage.
