Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfgang says he's 'hurt' by father's brief tribute in Grammys 'In Memoriam' segment

Eddie Van Halen, who died after battling cancer last year, was featured briefly in the 2021 Grammys' 'In Memoriam' segment, which the rocker's son, Wolfgang Van Halen, has spoken out about.

Wolfgang, 29, began his statement by revealing he'd declined an offer from the Recording Academy to perform during the segment, feeling no one "could live up to what my father did for music but himself." He continued, explaining that it was his understanding that the segment would feature "bits of songs" that would be performed for the late artists set to be honored.
