One of the greats.

Great rocker.

It’s hard to imagine what rock & roll would sound like without Eddie Van Halen. Like Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, and Eric Clapton before him, he single-handedly (or perhaps, in his case, double-handedly) changed the vocabulary of guitar for a generation. His pyrotechnic finger-tapping, elastic dive-bombs, and bursts of melody redefined the guitar solo and inspired legions of copycats in the process. But no matter what he was playing, he did it with heart. To honor the late guitar hero, who died Tuesday at age 65, we’ve selected 20 of his greatest solos — from unforgettable licks to genuine “how’d he do that?” head-scratchers — that show off his brilliance

Pneumonia is most likely among cause of death so, yes.

Flu rarely kills anyone. They get pneumonia from laying in bed with flu and die from the pneumonia.

That said, if they didn't catch the flu, would they avoid the pneumonia?

BTW, for the pro-science folks: there are pneumonia vaccinations. Don't tell the anti-vaxxers/anti-maskers. ;)

Flu and pneumonia are both lower respiratory infections. Pneumonia is generally what kills you because it fills the lungs with pus or water. That can ok nset quickly and be difficult to manage because flu tx means pumping water into you via IV.
The pneumonia shot uh s a good idea. Its no guarantee but even if you catch it it should be less severe. But if you had it some years ago check with your doc as you will need to have a second treatment. The original formula wasnt quite right and stops working.

Agreed on no guarantees. It's just a layer of protection, a form of armor. IIRC, it's good for about 5 years.

Vaccinations come under most medical plans and mine are updated during my annual physical.

You are woefully uninformed. They don’t get pneumonia from “laying in bed with flu”

Fuck you are stupid and I’ll informed

May he rock the gates of Heaven... or Hell, his choice. Either way, he will be missed here for sure.
