HEART guitarist Nancy Wilson has released her own tribute song to Eddie Van Halen titled “4 Edward.” The song apparently stems from the time Eddie wrote a song using Wilson’s acoustic guitar while on tour, according to MetalInjection.net. The tribute song is entirely instrumental.
“When Heart toured with Van Halen I asked Eddie why he never played acoustic guitar, his response ‘I don’t have one,’” says Wilson. “I gave Eddie one of mine and he immediately wrote a song on it that stole my heart. After he passed, it hit me so hard I felt it was time to pay tribute to him.”
Wilson plans to release her newest album called You and Me on May 7th. A lot of information has come out about Wilson and Van Halen’s relationship since he sadly passed away – she even apparently gifted him his first acoustic guitar, which makes sense considering he didn’t have one and they formed a close bond.

Van Halen passed away in October 2020 following a lengthy battle with throat cancer, which first stemmed from tongue cancer in 2000. His memory and legacy have continued on through his son, Wolfgang Van Halen.
