A new mural of Eddie Van Halen is coming to Hollywood, California. Artist Robert Vargas is painting a portrait of the late Van Halen guitarist outside of the Guitar Center in Hollywood. The mural will officially be unveiled on January 26 which would have been Eddie’s birthday. The mural is in the parking lot entrance of the store and is entitled “Long live the king”.
The Guitar Center has been a big staple for Eddie and the band Van Halen. The Rock Walk at Guitar Walk in front of the store features Eddie’s guitar, his signature and handprints with the members of Van Halen and then solo. The section is dedicated to artists who made a lasting contribution to music. Part of the music video for Van Halen’s classic hit “Panama” has been said to have been shot right in front of the store.
This is the latest tributes to Eddie, who died in October after a battle with cancer. Billboards, marquees and flowers have appeared in the Los Angeles area and throughout the country following his death.Watch the artist’s interview and see some of the mural’s creation in the video below.
