Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfgang is taking a stroll down memory lane.

The rock legend died at the age of 65 after a years-long battle with cancer, Wolfgang announced on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old revealed the news on social media alongside a black-and-white photo of his late father smiling.

Now, on Wednesday, just a day after Van Halen's passing, Wolfgang has shared another endearing photo with his dad.

The black-and-white snapshot captured Van Halen and Wolfgang smiling and laughing as Van Halen, with a guitar in his lap, playfully tousled his son's hair while Wolfgang strummed a guitar.

The two often played music together, as Wolfgang officially joined the band Van Halen alongside his father and uncle Alex in 2006.

There was no caption to the post, but the musician received plenty of love in the comments.

"Love you sweet boy," wrote Valerie Bertinelli, mother to Wolfgang and ex-wife of Eddie, adding a heart emoji, per People.
