The late Eddie Van Halen was honored during last night’s (October 14) Billboard Music Awards in Los Angeles, California. Organizers of the ceremony played a clip of Van Halen performing “Panama” during the 2015 Billboard Music Awards and followed it with a shot of a Frankenstrat guitar under a spotlight. Kelly Clarkson hosted the show and she had the following to say about the legendary guitarist: “Just a few days ago, a true giant was taken from us: Eddie Van Halen. He was a legendary guitarist, an amazing musician and an incredible songwriter.” After the “Panama” clip, she added: “That moment is one that all who saw will always remember.”
