Heart’s Nancy Wilson has shared a new song that pays tribute to the late Eddie Van Halen.
“4 Edward” is a short acoustic instrumental that serves as a very personal EVH tribute.
Nancy is the one who gave Eddie Van Halen his first acoustic guitar, after learning he didn’t own one while their bands were on tour together.
She says he called her hotel room the next day and played “this beautiful piece of acoustic guitar instrumental music on the phone.”
“4 Edward” will close out Wilson’s upcoming solo album You And Me, out May 7th.
