JAKARTA - Valerie Bertinelli reveals the last moments of Eddie Van Halen's life.
In Enough Already: Learning to Love the Way I Am Today, the actress says her ex-husband was surrounded by loved ones - including their son Wolfgang, wife Janie and older brother Alex - in the days leading up to his death.
"'I love you' were the last words Ed said to Wolfie and me, and they were the last words we spoke to him before he stopped breathing," Bertinelli recalled in an exclusive People quote.
Bertinelli and Eddie married in 1981; future bassist Van Halen and vocalist Mammoth WVH, Wolfgang was born a decade later.
The couple separated in 2001 and their divorce was finalized in 2007, partly because Eddie was addicted to drugs.
"I hated drugs and alcohol, but I never hated him," Bertinelli explains in his new book. "I saw the pain."
