EVH passed away on Oct. 6 due to complications from a decades-long battle with throat cancer. He was 65 years old. Roth was one of many who paid tribute when news broke of his death. “What a Long Great Trip It’s Been…” he captioned a black and white photo of himself and Eddie at the time.

Former Van Halen members Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony also honored Eddie during Hagar’s annual birthday bash. And though concerts are few and far between these days, Third Eye Blind was able to pay respects to EVH during a socially distanced set earlier this month by covering Van Halen’s “Ain’t Talkin’ Bout Love.”

SPIN paid tribute to EVH by highlighting his best guitar solos. See that list here.
