Kenny Chesney shared a heartfelt tribute when Eddie Van Halen passed away last week. He mentioned Eddie and his brother, Alex, joining him for one of his stadium shows in L.A.
In a recent interview with “People,” he said the first contact came from Eddie’s manager.
“You can imagine how I felt having [him] ask, ‘Is it alright if Eddie Van Halen gives you a call?’ And then looking down a little later to see that 818 area code and thinking, ‘That’s Eddie Van Halen.’
“I answered and he sounds just like you’d think but then he falls into talking to you about music, life, road life, and all these things. It’s like you’ve always been friends and he knows your life and he understands.
“It was one of those moments that every kid who dreams about rock music dreams of. It was so alive, so in the moment, and both Van Halen brothers played like it was their show, their fans.”
