Eddie Van Halen‘s loved ones don’t want people to watch a new TV show premiering in a few days that covers the rock star’s final living moments.
The late Van Halen guitarist — who died of cancer in October of 2020 at the age of 65 — is the focus of a new show on the Reelz Channel called Autopsy: The Last Hours of Eddie Van Halen. In the series, a medical examiner leads viewers through the final days of a late star’s life, examining the medical events and life happenings that led to the person’s death.

But that show angle isn’t sitting well with Eddie’s son, Wolfgang Van Halen. The 31-year-old musician let the world know about his displeasure on Wednesday, too, by taking to Twitter and sharing his very frank opinions about the Reelz Channel and their programming fare.
Writing about his late father’s passing being used as a TV spot, the rocker slammed the network:
Whoa.
Here is his full tweet, with NSFW adult language included (below):
And he wasn’t the only one, either.
Wolfgang’s mother — and Eddie’s ex-wife — Valerie Bertinelli also criticized the content of the Reelz show.
Responding to her son’s initial tweet on the matter, 62-year-old actress shared:
And you can see her tweeted response (below), too:
Any questions as to what the family thinks of this series?? Seems pretty definitive to us.
FYI, Reelz is airing their hour-long special on Eddie’s October 2020 passing on June 5. In it, according to the show’s description, forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Hunter will “analyze every detail” of the late rocker’s life “in order to piece together what else may have been going on in his body, ultimately leading to his untimely death.”
