Eddie Van Halen the legendary guitarist and co-founder of Van Halen has died after a long battle with throat cancer … TMZ has learned.

 

Sources directly connected to the rock star tell us … he died at St. Johns Hospital in Santa Monica Tuesday. His wife, Janie was by his side, along with his son Wolfgang and Alex, Eddie's brother and drummer.

 

We're told in the last 72 hours Eddie's ongoing health battle went massively downhill – doctors discovered his throat cancer had moved to his brain as well as other organs.

 

As you know, Eddie has been battling cancer for well over a decade. Our sources say he's been in and out of the hospital over the past year including last November for intestinal issues and recently underwent a round of chemo.

 

Last year we reported … Eddie was flying between the U.S. and Germany for 5 years to get radiation treatment. Though he was a heavy smoker for years, he believes he developed the throat cancer from a metal guitar pick he used to frequently hold in his mouth more than 20 years ago.

 

Nevertheless, he continued to attend concerts and rehearse music with his son, Wolfgang, who if ya don't know became Van Halen's bassist in 2006.
