Wolfgang, who played bass for the band named after his father, confirmed the awful news on Instagram.Wolfgang's mother, Valerie Bertinelli, shared a photograph of the three of them together shortly after his birth with a beautiful tribute to her ex-husband."40 years ago my life changed forever when I met you," she wrote."You gave me the one true light in my life, our son, Wolfgang.

Twitter was quickly flooded with an outpouring of grief from his fellow rockers and across the music landscape.

TooFab I think what matters at the end is that he was a great dad.

TooFab NikkiStix55 have you seen this?

TooFab Brian May (Queen) posted one of the most heartfelt tributes to Eddie. From one guitar legend to another...

TooFab Other than his ex, no quotes from famous women. Pauley Perette did comment on the news on her Twitter. I see that Lita Ford also did. I think the band's fan base was/is extremely male.

TooFab PENCE must show TRUMP'S FAKE HEALTH PLAN on LIVE TV tonight--- but we all know TRUMP is a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR just like he refuses to show his supporters his tax returns.
