Eddie Van Halen was born in the Netherlands on January 26, 1955 and grew up in California. He founded Van Halen with his older brother Alex in the 1970s and quickly gained a fan base.
Van Halen has sold over 75 million copies of albums worldwide and has more popular hits on the US top rock charts than any other artist. One of Van Halen’s classic hits is Runnin’ with the Devil.
Eddie and Alex were born to Jan Van Halen, a Dutch saxophonist of Swedish descent, and Eugenia van Beers, a European-Indonesian (Indo) from Rangkasbitung. The family emigrated in 1962 to California.
Not many people know that the Van Halen frontman has a relationship with Indonesia. Eddie Van Halen’s relationship with Indonesia is even immortalized in the Multatuli Museum in Rangkasbitung, Banten. In this museum there are several rooms, one of which is the Rangkasbitung room. If we enter the Rangkasbitung room, the name Eugenia Van Beers is immortalized there.
